Rename j2re-image and j2sdk-image?

The build-infra project has been trying to make no changes to what is built, so we can verify the old
builds match the new builds. Every change complicates that comparison.
In some cases where we have seen errors in the old makefiles, we even matched that, knowing that
changing it could force us down rabbit holes we would rather not go down.

Once we officially cut over to the new build-infra makefiles and deleted the old makefiles so that no
comparison builds are needed, we can take more liberties and clean things up.

The jigsaw project has a different situation, and could make these kind of changes now, for the module
builds, if they wanted to.

Might I suggest jre-image and jdk-image or just jre and jdk since they are already in the images dir. Yes, it's a change to long held naming but there's not likely to be a better opportunity any time soon.
