Consider using the JDK instead of the JRE in the B2Bi ASI container

In support case TS019713194, we needed to use the IBM Java 8 jextract dump utility: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sdk-java-technology/8?topic=tools-dump-extractor

This was not available because the B2Bi ASI container uses a JRE instead of a JDK. This caused significant delay as it required that the matching JDK was found, uploaded through the case, downloaded and then uploaded to the container. The B2Bi ASI container has many diagnostics and utilities already pre-installed, so it doesn't seem it's particularly designed to be lean, so it would be nice if the more powerful JDK could be built-in rather than a JRE unless there's some specific reason for that. The matching utility on IBM Semeru Runtimes for newer versions of Java is jpackcore.
