When using DCO iroutes and routes all live in the same routing table,
However, the latter should always come after the former.

for this reason assign a default metric of 200 to routes. iroutes will
later get a metric of 100.

Changes from v1:
* added comments before "(if (dco_enabled(c))" to explain why we need
  a different metric

Arne has already ACKed the functionality (and I'm fine with that), and
I ACK the extra comments.  We could spend days on perfect wordsmithing
here, but I think they are good enough.

Please do not forget to include the metric thing in the "overall
documentation" patch that was mentioned :-)

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
