The bazel executable installed by the official packaging is a shell script.
One of the things it does is look for $PWD/tools/bazel and try to run that,
presumably to allow for easy customization.

Since we vendor build-tools in as tools/ almost everywhere,
we cannot have a directory named bazel
as the bazel CLI will try to execute tools/bazel and fail.
