[Mini-NDN] NLSR Configuration File

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Ilane & Ashlesh

I'd suggest editing NFD and NLSR configuration files using infoedit, rather
than through string manipulation.
infoedit https://github.com/NDN-Routing/infoedit is a utility that allows a
script to programmatically edit Boost INFO files. Since it understands
Boost INFO format, there would not be problems such as missing '\n'.

Yours, Junxiao
