[ndnSIM] Communication between Strategy subclass and Policy subclasses

[John Baugh]

Also:

I'm aware of the getStrategy() member function in the
StrategyChoiceHelper.  It returns a Name object, not a Strategy object.

Obviously, the strategy would be for a particular node.  I need it for my
router node.

If you have an alternative to this, I'd be very happy to entertain the
idea.  If there was a different "afterReceiveInterest" somewhere else, I
would be very pleased to use it, but I apparently need the one in the
Strategy.

Thanks,

John
