### Describe the bug

On pulling a backend from Amplify console, the prompt allows us to select if we plan to modify a backend. If we select `no`, but later in point of time decide we need to make some modifications amplify will throw `unable to find amplify-meta.json` error.

The workarounds are.
1. Delete the Amplify folder and pull the Amplify backend again, but this time selecting `yes` when prompted to allow modify backend.
2. change the `noUpdateBackend` attribute to false in `amplify/.config/local-env-info.json` then run `amplify pull`. While selecting `yes` when prompted to allow modify backend.

### Expected behavior

Amplify CLI command should allow users to modify the backend.

### Reproduction steps

1. `amplify pull `
2. select `no`
