[Ovmsdev] Reset Standard Metrics on vehicle change

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

By cold reboot I suppose he means unplugging from one car and plugging into the other. Powering down the module for some time.

I think this is a pretty rare occurrence and can probably be handler easier by telling people to clear the persistent metrics and reboot if they are switching from T26A to OBD (or the other way).

Regards, Mark
