/**
 * An MetaInfo holds the meta info which is signed inside the data packet.
 *
 * The class allows experimentation with application-defined meta information blocks,
 * which slightly violates NDN-TLV specification.  When using the application-defined
 * meta information blocks be aware that this may result in packet drop (NFD and
 * previous versions of ndn-cxx will gracefully accept such packet).
 *
 * The following definition of MetaInfo block is assumed in this implementation (compared
 * to the NDN-TLV spec, definition extended to allow optional AppMetaInfo TLV blocks):
 *
 *     MetaInfo ::= META-INFO-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
 *                    ContentType?
 *                    FreshnessPeriod?
 *                    FinalBlockId?
 *                    AppMetaInfo*
 *
 *     AppMetaInfo ::= any TLV block with type in the restricted application range [128, 252]
 *
 * Note that AppMetaInfo blocks are application-defined and must have TLV type from
 * the restricted application range [128, 252].
