The OSPF metric is copied there as an inaccessible "igp_metric"
attribute. This is quite a silly behavior and in fact, I'm just a
handful of commits before enabling filtering by this general attribute.

This change will happen in a branch that should eventually merge into
some future v2.0.x branch as well as the v3 branch. We won't backport it
into v1.6.x.
