Container images with UBI micro

[leochr]

Investigate the feasibility to provide UBI micro based Liberty images

We'll need UBI micro based Java images first. This issue is opened with Java team: ibmruntimes/Semeru-Runtimes#8

• UBI micro images:
  "The ubi-micro is the smallest possible UBI image, obtained by excluding a package manager and all of its dependencies which are normally included in a container image. This minimizes the attack surface of container images based on the ubi-micro image and is suitable for minimal applications, even if you use UBI Standard, Minimal, or Init for other applications. The container image without the Linux distribution packaging is called a Distroless container image."
