OK, so things are being installed twice and it is generally a
mess. This looks like a good cleanup.

However this really needs to be explained in the patchset. There
needs to be a clear description of where things have moved from and
to. In particular what someone needs to do if this breaks their test
runner scripts. This can then be copied into the LTP release notes.

BTW IIRC we generate runtest files for the open posix tests and the test
runner handles them almost like normal LTP tests. We don't use any of
those scripts either.
