Subject changed from ndnsec should provide tool to update TpmLocator in PIB to ndnsec tool: update TpmLocator in PIB

I doubt the necessity of a tool.

Having such tool promotes that TPM locator can be changed, but changing TPM is error-prone.

This operation is rarely needed.

Since the PIB database structure is (or is supposed to be) documented, operator could modify the database directly.

Alternatively, use ndnsec-export to export all public and private keys, reset the PIB, and use ndnsec-import to import keys back into the new PIB/TPM.

Ok. I'm reducing priority, as it is not that important and critical.

However, I would disagree that this would be only in import/export. It should be there, but it shouldn't be the only place. Editing the database manually possible, but one have to actually know low level details.
