[ndnSIM] ZipfMandelbrot content size

I see, well I was hoping to vary the file size across multiple probability
distributions (uniform, random, various zipf skews).

If I want to vary the zipf across multiple producers, I think I can just
tweak the existing ConsumerZipfMandelbrot where the number of items would
be instead the number of producers.

Thanks,
Josh
