Have the add_cloud_metadata processor enrich events with EC2 tags #31899

Description

@psypuff

Describe the enhancement:
Similar to #12263 but not for a specific module, for anything beats is monitoring within an EC2 VM.
Since Jan 2022 EC2 tags are also available through the Instance Metadata Service. This is where the add_cloud_metadata processor fetches metadata from anyway so it doesn't seem like a big change.

Describe a specific use case for the enhancement or feature:
This will allow filtering and grouping hosts based on EC2 tags (e.g. Name) in the Observability metrics inventory view of Kibana (and probably some other views as well). This is much more useable than IPs or instance IDs.
