aws-ec2 auth backend takes in PKCS#7 signature of an AWS EC2 instance and a client
created nonce to authenticates the EC2 instance with Vault.

Authentication is backed by a preconfigured role in the backend. The role
represents the authorization of resources by containing Vault's policies.
Role can be created using 'role/<role>' endpoint.

If there is need to further restrict the capabilities of the role on the instance
that is using the role, 'role_tag' option can be enabled on the role, and a tag
can be generated using 'role/<role>/tag' endpoint. This tag represents the
subset of capabilities set on the role. When the 'role_tag' option is enabled on
the role, the login operation requires that a respective role tag is attached to
the EC2 instance which performs the login.
