Installs `scripts/` directory to the global namespace

When packaging platformIO-core for openSUSE, I have discovered that the package’s install script creates and populates purelib/scripts directory. That sounds wrong to me, shouldn’t it put these scripts as a subdirectory of the platformio package?
