It wasn't apparent to me that we already run the testlibrary_tests in tier1. That makes little sense to me - it is akin to running jtreg tests. The only time we need to run the testlibrary_tests is when we make changes to the test library, so a higher level tier would make more sense to me. That said, the intent of this PR is not, IIUC, to make that kind of change so that is perhaps better left to a separate change.

The sources tests should be run in tier1.
