Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::EC2::Instance

### Description

According to this [AWS news article](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/01/instance-tags-amazon-ec2-instance-metadata-service/), it is now possible to make Instance Tags available to the EC2 Instance Metadata service. This feature is not enabled by default, but there is an option to enable it when creating a new EC2 Instance in the console.

The AWS::EC2::Instance specification should allow for an attribute to enable Instance Tags from the CloudFormation stack template.
