[Ndn-interest] Adding HMAC to available NDN signature types

[Adeola Bannis]

Hello all,

I am proposing to add an HMAC type, using SHA256 as the hash function, to
the signature types defined at
http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/current/signature.html. This will enable
communication with symmetric keys, which reduces the signing and
verification load on resource-constrained devices.

The proposal is attached. Please review it and reply with any comments or
suggestions.

Thanks,
Adeola
