### Description
Support for being able to enable instance metadata tags in cloudformation for EC2 Imagebuilder.
As per this article -->https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/01/instance-tags-amazon-ec2-instance-metadata-service/
Instance Tags now available on the Amazon EC2 Instance Metadata Service.
It is also understood that the instance metadata tags can be enabled in the EC2 launch template as shown here --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-launchtemplate-launchtemplatedata-metadataoptions.html
However, this option does not seem to be supported for image builder at the moment. Looking at the AWS::ImageBuilder::InfrastructureConfiguration --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-imagebuilder-infrastructureconfiguration.html
There does appear to be a property called InstanceMetadataOptions, but this property only seems to support HttpPutResponseHopLimit and HttpTokens only, no instance metadata tags.

Research direction
Start with the AWS::ImageBuilder::InfrastructureConfiguration documentation and compare its InstanceMetadataOptions property with the linked EC2 launch template MetadataOptions documentation. Confirm whether Image Builder exposes instance metadata tags and identify the required CloudFormation property shape. Done means the requested capability is supported and documented, with coverage reflected in the resource specification.
