Face::getTransport method
Added by Alex Afanasyev over 8 years ago.
Updated over 8 years ago.
Description
In several instances (DummyFace, InternalClientFace), it is necessary to access the underlying Transport class. The current workaround includes creating helper functions. With Face::getTransport, helper functions no longer be necessary.
Both DummyFace and InternalClientFace are subclasses of ndn::Face, so getTransport should be declared as protected.

After having Face::getTransport, makeDummyClientFace should be deprecated (with Doxygen only for now) and make_shared<DummyClientFace> should work.
Is it necessary for a caller of Face::getTransport to obtain shared ownership of Transport?
If there isn't such a use case, it's better to return a mutable reference, so that we could use unique_ptr<Transport> in the future without affecting this API.
