rrssb-plus library location in Drupal 9 environment

Problem/Motivation

Upon initial install in Drupal 9 the "Status report" page complains that rrsb-plus library can not be found.

Current module documentation offers to install the library with either drush or download and extract it manually into sites/all/libraries.
drush is not available as a built-in utility in Drupal9, and doesn't want to get installed easily. The manual placement of the rrssb-plus library folder into sites/all/libraries doesn't resolve the "not found" issue either. This is because function rrssb_library_path() doesn't return {drupal root folder}/sites/all/libraries/rrssb-plus

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal 9
  2. Add rrrsb module
  3. Observe "not found" error on "Status report" page
  4. Extract rrsb-plus into sites/all/libraries folder
  5. Observe that "Status report" page still has "not found" error related to rrssb-plus library

Proposed resolution

An immediate workaround that resolves the issue: place libraries/rrssb-plus folder into the root folder of drupal installation. e.g.: /var/www/html/drupal

Alternatively modify the constant string returned by function rrssb_library_path located in modules/rrssb/rssb.module script.

    I updated the error message to state that when the library is not found in Drupal 9+, it should be installed with composer.

    Great thanks everyone, sorry for the delay.

    The bug is that the instructions refer to sites/all/libraries and it should be libraries.

    As a task, the recommended install mechanism should be composer. However I believe that manual install is still allowed in D9. D8 is no longer supported.

    It seems that most modules are no longer including installation instructions on the project page. I have just fixed the project page to link to the README file for installation instructions. However the README is also wrong.

    So I suggest:

    1) Update the changes to rrssb_requirements() to match the above.
    2) Update the readme
