[ndnSIM] adding new field to data packet

[Samar Alduayji]

Thanks for your quick reply,

Would that works if this value is linked to the producer type? Let's say
I've two types of producers( Type A &B) that can be used as many as we need
in the simulation.

Creating a data packet would be similar except for the freshness value
which will be interpreted, in the CS lookup process, in different ways
depending in the producer type.

Regards,
Samar
