Apparently Microsoft stopped shipping `wmic.exe` in certain situations (modern systems?). We rely on this to detect whether we are on an EC2 instance, so that we do or do not configure the IMDS credential provider (we try to avoid the IMDS credential provider if unnecessary, because in certain network setups it may hang for a long time failing to connect to `169.254.169.254`). If calling `wmic` fails, just assume we're not on an EC2 instance and proceed. Fixes #16419.
