[ns] bug in ns-lib.tcl

[David Ros <David.Ros@irisa.fr>]

Hello all,


There is a bug in the proc bw_parse defined in ns-lib.tcl: parsing of
bandwidth expressed in [kM]byte/s units is broken (symptom: MB/s or kB/s
is interpreted as bit/s)

Reason: parameters to 'string trimright' (line 83) are in the wrong
order.
