[Ndn-interest] NDN-friendly Mobility solutions

The situation is very different if we want to do this purely in ndn.

there are two different scenarios:
1. you dont have a routable name; It is ok that you can never spread
information (publish data)?

2. you have a routable name; how long you have to wait til routing
update finishes in order to publish data globally in a new location?

I believe pendingData is a relatively simple solution.
