maturin automatically replaces the installed version whenever you run
maturin develop ...

It's required just for human inspection, not for using
power-instruction-analyzer. Running native instruction tests requires
a POWER9 processor to test against, the file is basically the test
results, containing the calculated results for every test case.

Otherwise, you can run tests/use it on any computer that can compile it.
