    """Return the s-metric of graph.

    The s-metric is defined as the sum of the products deg(u)*deg(v)
    for every edge (u,v) in G. If norm is provided construct the
    s-max graph and compute it's s_metric, and return the normalized
    s value

    Parameters
    ----------
    G    : graph
           The graph used to compute the s-metric.
    normalized : bool (optional)
           Normalize the value.

    Returns
    -------       
    s : float
        The s-metric of the graph.
