[ndnSIM] [EXT] Safely removing Pit Entries on receiving new interest.

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Prajjwal

You may use Strategy::setExpiryTimer or Forwarder::setExpiryTimer, passing
zero as timer duration.
Strategy::rejectPendingInterest is a shorthand of this operation.
This would cause the PIT entry to be erased when the current packet
finishes processing.

Yours, Junxiao
