Modifying the redistribution metric type

The redistribution metric type is used by default for all routes imported into OSPFv3. Type 1 metrics are the same "units" as internal OSPFv3 metrics and can be compared directly. Type 2 metrics are not directly comparable and are treated as larger than the largest internal OSPFv3 metric.
