ndn-cxx version 0.6.2

Note that this is the last release that encodes to NDN packet format
version 0.2.1 (https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.2.1/). A
future release will continue to decode v0.2.1 format, but will encode to
v0.3 format (https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/).

New features:
-------------

- Initial support for NDN packet format version 0.3
  (https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/) (Issue 4527)

  - Recognize typed name components, allow typed name component in
    FinalBlockId (Issue 4526)

  - Recognize Interest in Packet Format v0.3 (Issue 4527)

    In this release, Interest::wireDecode accepts both v0.2 and v0.3
    formats, but Interest::wireEncode only encodes into v0.2 format. A
    future release of the library will switch the encoding to v0.3
    format.

  - Recognize Data in Packet Format v0.3 (Issue 4568)

    In this release, Data::wireDecode accepts both v0.2 and v0.3
    formats, but Data::wireEncode only encodes into v0.2 format. A
    future release of the library will switch the encoding to v0.3
    format.

- Library support for cs/erase command of NFD Management (Issue 4318)

- A convenience function to print out Block structures (Issue 2225)

Improvements and bug fixes:
---------------------------

- Change encoding of NDNLPv2 sequence number from nonNegativeInteger to
  fixed-width integer (8 bytes in network order) (Issue 4403)

- Fix compilation with Boost 1.67 (Issue 4584)

- Upgrade build environment to latest version of waf and other
  improvements

- Logging system improvements (Issue 4552)

Deprecated:
-----------

- Selectors (Issue 4527)

  NDN Packet Format v0.3 replaces Selectors with CanBePrefix and
  MustBeFresh elements. This commit deprecates getter/setter for
  Selectors in Interest class. Getter/setter for CanBePrefix and
  MustBeFresh are mapped to the closest v0.2 semantics and encoded as
  selectors.

- Data::get/setFinalBlockId() in favor of Data::get/setFinalBlock()
Prepare release 0.6.2
