Need AlmaLinux OS Scan support enhancement

[srbala]

What happened:
#360 Feature request to add AlmaLinux OS Scan support and its been resolved. AlmaLinux is variant of RedHat, security scan should return those too.

docker run --rm -it anchore/grype redhat/ubi8 returns 160 entries
docker run --rm -it anchore/grype almalinux:8 returns 2 entries

What you expected to happen:
number of security entry should be equal (some time more, when fix is released by RedHat and yet to released by AlmaLinux usually 1-5 days

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Given above.

Anything else we need to know?:

Environment:

• Output of grype version:
  current (v0.17.0)

• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release or similar):

Hi @srbala — this is a good catch, thanks for pointing this out to us. It looks like there's more work to do before we can claim to support AlmaLinux.
