Feature #4568

Description
In Packet03Transition, Data in v0.3 format makes MetaInfo and Content optional.
This issue is to change ndn::Data class so that the decoder can accept a Data with omitted MetaInfo and Content. Validators shall also accept such packets.
The encoder shall continue to emit empty MetaInfo and Content elements, so that the packets are compatible with both formats.

I realize that v0.3 has evolvability requirement, so implementation in patchset1 is incomplete.

Change 3668 patchset2 implements TLV evolvability requirement.
Validators shall also accept a Data with omitted MetaInfo and Content.
I'm confident this would work (just omitting MetaInfo and Content), but I won't add a test case for now.
Test case for this and other possible v0.3 encoding (injecting unrecognized non-critical elements) would come in #4583.
