[Olsr-dev] Link metrics

[Henning Rogge]

Not completely right.

The main reason at the moment is that the packet encoding of Olsrd was
designed specifically for ETX in the past, so we have to break
compatibility for new metrics.

Thats why (at least from my side) we plan to introduce them with
OLSRv2 (which I am working on at the moment) where we have to break
compatibility anyway.

Breaking it twice in a row is bad.
