Description

Right now we have most utils in bin/, but sstablemetadata is an outlier in tools/bin. For packaging, we don't care what the source directory is, we put everything in /usr/bin. We want to keep some things out of users' hands unless they know what they're doing (like sstable2json) so I propose that we break these things out into a companion cassandra-tools package that will depend on cassandra.
