- Face::registerPrefix and Face::setInterestFilter are now unified
  with the use of SigningInfo abstraction (Issue 2932)

  management protocol (Issue 2107)

Improvements and bug fixes:

  - setSigningDefault
  - setSigningIdentity
  - setSigningCertificate
  - setSigningCertificate
- Overloads of Face::registerPrefix and Face::setInterestFilter that
