/**
 * \brief Represents the Dead Nonce List.
 *
 * The Dead Nonce List is a global table that supplements the PIT for loop detection.
 * When a Nonce is erased (dead) from a PIT entry, the Nonce and the Interest Name are added to
 * the Dead Nonce List and kept for a duration in which most loops are expected to have occured.
 *
 * To reduce memory usage, the Interest Name and Nonce are stored as a 64-bit hash.
 * The probability of false positives (a non-looping Interest considered as looping) is small
 * and a collision is recoverable when the consumer retransmits with a different Nonce.
 *
 * To reduce memory usage, entries do not have associated timestamps. Instead, the lifetime
 * of the entries is controlled by dynamically adjusting the capacity of the container.
 * At fixed intervals, a MARK (an entry with a special value) is inserted into the container.
 * The number of MARKs stored in the container reflects the lifetime of the entries,
 * because MARKs are inserted at fixed intervals.
