Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The domain returned from IMDS is not verified if it was and AWS
  domain.

  [Test Cases]

  0) Deploy an Amazon AWS instance with Instance Connect feature enabled
  1) Connect to the instance using Instance Connect, for example by pressing the "Connect" button on the web UI.
  2. Within a few ten seconds of connecting run (assuming using the ubuntu username):

   bash -x /usr/share/ec2-instance-connect/eic_curl_authorized_keys
  ubuntu

  3) The debug output should show successful validation:
  ...
  ++ /usr/bin/curl -s -f -m 1 -H 'X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: ...XXX...==' http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/services/domain/
  + domain=amazonaws.com
  + domain_exit=0
  + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
  + is_domain_valid=1
  + for valid_domain in amazonaws.com amazonaws.com.cn c2s.ic.gov sc2s.sgov.gov
  + '[' amazonaws.com = amazonaws.com ']'
  + is_domain_valid=0
  + break
  + '[' 0 -eq 1 ']'
  ++ /usr/bin/printf managed-ssh-signer.%s.%s us-east-2 amazonaws.com
  ...

  [Regression Potential]

  The validation code can fail preventing connection to the VM. Considering that this is a very small amount of code an looks OK this is unlikely.
  The validation could also falsely pass, but that would not be a regression since the validation was not there before.
