No JRE package for Linux x64, only for Amazon Linux 2

[mkokho]

Issue: there is no JRE package for a generic Linux OS, only JDK package.

It would be good to have JRE package so docker images based on other Linux versions have smaller size.

JDK package works, but takes more space.

if you are talking about docker, please refer to this issue:
corretto/corretto-8-docker#17

Issue corretto/corretto-8-docker#17 is similar, but it only asks to create a docker images based on amazonlinux:2 with jre. I'd like have the possibility to create docker images base on other Linux operating systems, such as centos:7. Example dockerfile:

FROM centos:7
RUN curl -o java.rpm --fail <corretto jre>.rpm
RUN yum localinstall -y java.rpm

Amazon already publishes JDK for Linux x64 platform, but not JRE.
