[ndnSIM] integrate blockchain with NDN

[Asim ALHIMSYA]

Blockchain can provide a decentralized, immutable ledger that can help
authenticate interest packets and manage resources efficiently.
I'm planning to inject blockchain to the nodes that run applications. for
example: the interest packet structure can be modified to contain a hash
function, data, ...
