Move virt tools (virt-cat, virt-edit etc) into tools/ subdirectory.
This moves the tool programs into a single directory: cat/* -> tools/virt-cat df/* -> tools/virt-df edit/* -> tools/virt-edit rescue/* -> tools/virt-rescue This in itself simplifies the build process because we only need one Makefile and one copy of 'run-locally'. 'run-*-locally' has become just 'run-locally' and takes an extra parameter which is the name of the tool, eg: run-locally cat [virt-cat params...] virt-inspector stays in its own directory, because this contains more than just a single Perl script.
