When [configuring IMDS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/configuring-instance-metadata-options.html), users are able to specify a `PUT` response hop limit for instance metadata requests. AEMM should be able to do the same.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating AEMM's instance-metadata configuration and request-handling entry points, then compare them with the documented IMDS PUT response hop-limit behavior. Done means the configured hop limit is represented and honored, with coverage for the new behavior.
