Invocation the tool built with the default settings fails:
$ cpupower
cpupower: error while loading shared libraries: libcpupower.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

The issue is that Makefile puts the library to "/usr/lib64" dir for a 64
bit machine. This is wrong. According to the "File hierarchy standard
specification:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf

"/usr/lib<qual>" dirs are intended for alternative-format libraries
(e.g., "/usr/lib32" for 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit machine (optional)).

The utility is built for the current machine and doesn't change bit
depth.
Fix the issue by changing library destination dir to "/usr/lib".
