strgrp: Use angular similarity for distance metric properties

Distance metrics allow us to compare similarity results, however
applying the change leads to test suite breakage as we no longer satisfy
the requirement that each filter's score is at most as large as that of
the previous filter^. As such, also stop ccanlint from executing the
tests that are known to fail until we work around the problem.

^ This is a problem that has existed since the introduction of the
cosine similarity filter, it just wasn't detected by the test suite.
