runqslower is as much as a showcase of how to build a stand-alone tool
with libbpf and CO-RE, as a separate tool, which is why I put it under
libbpf directory. It's also not really BPF-specific tool, wouldn't
that make it weird to put it under tools/bpf along the bpftool? If we
added few more such tools using BPF CO-RE + libbpf, would you feel
it's still a good idea to put them under tools/bpf?

I tried to follow BCC structure, which has tools/ subdirectory with
all kinds of examples/tools built with BCC (but not necessarily used
by BCC itself). This is the same idea here.
