[c-nsp] OSPF fast hellos

Changing the hello/dead timers combined with ispf, and tuning spf
throttle/lsa throttle timers, works extremely well to bring down the
convergence time of OSPF to around what eigrp does natively.  You dont want
to adjust the timers without the throttle control.   There should be a best
practices document on the timer values somewhere on cisco.com.  Can't seem
to find it at the moment.  I was using that formula on a large, mixed
OC-48/10G ospf routed network without any issues.
