Add a new directory for those like toos/flakiness. Avoid abbreviations like
flakies, use full name "flakiness" or "flaky".

+"""Finds flaky test cases by sharding and running a test for the specified
+number of times. The data file is read at the beginning of each run to find
+the last known counts and is overwritten at the end of each run with the new
+counts. There is an optional sleep interval between each run so the script can
+be killed without losing the data, useful for overnight (or weekend!) runs.

nit: Comments should start with a capital letter and end with a dot. Applies to
entire CL.
