Imcomplete extract_metrics.py.

extract_metrics.py has hard-coded subject system and no main entry for generate metric files.

extract_metrics.py hasn't been updated in a long time, the script format itself is dated in comparison to the rest of the scripts. Is this currently in use for anything? If so, I can take a look at it, it shouldn't be hard to bring up to the standards of the rest of the scripts.

@MarceloLaser Hi Marcelo, it's not urgent, but do please take a look at some point. Since the previous one was incomplete and didn't seem to be executable, I added some code to it to make it work but I'm not sure whether it's doing its job correctly. It will be helpful if you can take a look into it.

I just had a look; what happened there is that I was tinkering with that script so much and had to re-run it so many times, I eventually just hard-coded a bunch of junk into it to "cut" the effective re-runs. Basically, right now that script is doing two things:

1. Actually extract the metrics.
2. Plot a whole bunch of stuff from those metrics.

Ideally, those things should be separated into their own scripts. Also, because of the nature of metrics plotting, a lot of that script was experimental to create graphs that would look good, so it's a very "volatile" script.

I'll clean it up a bit and push it back upstream to a new branch, but it should be tested before bringing it back down to master. I currently don't have my environment set up to do that, so it'll have to sit on the new branch until either I get my work computer back here, or someone else takes the time to run a few tests.
