Description

ValidatorPolicyConfig cannot be used by itself and requires Validator instance to be assigned prior loading any policy. At least, the implementation should throw a proper error.

FYI. The specific error that triggered segfault of NFD was a result of dereferencing nullptr m_validator in ValidatorPolicyConfig::processConfigTrustAnchor method, i.e., if security section includes real trust anchor(s) (as opposite to have "any" trust anchor). If by some magic it would not have segfaulted there, it would whenever config is being reloaded.
