Backport #39363 to branch/v15

changelog: Re-enable AWS IMDSv1 fallback due to some EKS clusters having their IMDSv2 hop limit set to 1, leading to IMDSv2 requests failing. Users who wish to keep IMDSv1 fallback disabled can set the AWS_EC2_METADATA_V1_DISABLED environmental variable.

It was discovered that some customers' EKS clusters did not have their IMDSv2 hop limits
set correctly, causing requests for key functionality to attempt IMDSv1 fallback and failing.

For now, re-enable IMDSv1 fallback by way of removing the explicit disabling of
`EC2MetadataEnableFallback` until better documentation, error handling, and other work
can be done to inform customers that they need to correctly set their IMDSv2 hop limits.
