With NatThreshold, default was 1.0 and values were 0.1 to 1.0.
Now with SmartGateway, we don't have the loop risk, so we can 
use a low default, to prefer keep using an in-use gateway.
0.0 is allowed, which disables switchover to a better gateway.

Dampening helps, e.g. switch only after a new candidate is selected 
twice in successive runs. Then, the current lazy selection could be 
disabled. Switching a few times during startup is not worse than
not using a tunnel. It may be somewhat better.

I support a default of 0.67 (stick to two decimals?).
