JDK-8202320 - -amd64 appended to directory
Description
After installing the RPM ( yum install ./jdk-8u172-linux-x64.rpm), the top 
level directory, jdk1.8.0_172, has an extension of "amd64".  After 
installation the java version reads correctly, but again, why are these now 
named with a -amd64 extension as part of the installation?  The RPM doesn't 
have this extension, why would the installation directory?  This is different 
from how these JDK8 RPM's were delivered in the past.  The JVM's are up and 
running, but again, why does it say AMD64 instead of just x86_64 like the 
past rpm's?
