[ndnSIM] Error regarding Freshness in ndnSIM

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Saran,

Thank you for noticing and reporting the bug! 

After debugging I realized there is a small bug, that basically invalidated the logic of the policy policy.  I have pushed the fix and policy should work as expected, including your scenario not failing the assert anymore.
