Add amazon/2 RPM distribution to the release list

Tomasz Maczukin requested to merge publish-amazon-2-packages into main

What does this MR do?

Adds amazon/2 RPM distribution to the list of published RPM packages.

Why was this MR needed?

As noted at #28967 (comment 883902534), we've recently got support for amazon/2 on packages.gitlab.com. Previously this distribution was handled by the el/7 packages and there was a redirection that was handling translation of that. However, packages.gitlab.com recently was reconfigured to drop this redirection to support upcoming native amazon/2 package for Omnibus GitLab.

This however have broken GitLab Runner installation on Amazon Linux 2 nodes, as we don't publish packages for this distribution yet.

This MR will add amazon/2 to the list of published RPM packages which will unblock packages.gitlab.com and allow us to support Amazon Linux 2 natively.

What's the best way to test this MR?

What are the relevant issue numbers?

Closes #28967 (closed)
