Description

Currently the task-controller and jsvc "live" in the bin/ directory regardless of build platform. This is incorrect since these components are native compiled code and thus are built for a particular architecture. So, when we ship a build of 22, we will want to ship both 32-bit and 64-bit artifacts so users can use these components without rebuilding on their own.

Additionally, it doesn't make sense for them to be in bin/ since they're not user-facing in any way (i.e a user would never directly invoke them). So I would propose putting them in an sbin directory.

The final proposed path is $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/<platform>/

{jsvc,task-controller}

Note this is not an incompatible change since these components were not present in any prior apache release.
