Enabling EventRateLimit admission controller

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
We have a cluster with multiple namspaces, each namespace containing multiple applications.
We would like to limit the number of calls to API server to prevent it to get flooded by event requests from one namespace.
For achieving than we need to enable the EventRateLimit admission controller.
[EventRateLimit](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/admission-controllers/#eventratelimit)

Currently EventRateLimit is not part of enabled admission controllers [EKS platform-versions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/platform-versions.html)
