[JENKINS-72007] Support new AWS machine types

JENKINS-72007 asks for support of new EC2 instance types that are available with newer versions of the AWS Java SDK. I'm not a user of the AWS Java SDK, but there is a release of the new version of the API plugin that provides the new machine types.

Can confirm this works, was able to use the C7a8xlarge to complete a package build for Arch Linux. Runtime went from 12 minutes to 7 minutes by switching from C6a8xlarge to C7a8xlarge.

Hi, "SDK minimal" and "SDK EC2" binary cannot download now, could you please provider new address?
When can we release this change? We need create Jenkins Dynamic Instance for M7A type soon.

As my time allows, I'll try to provide an updated version of the SDK plugins and the EC2 plugin.

If your organization depends on prompt releases of the EC2 plugin, you should volunteer to help maintain the plugin. That will give you permissions to release new versions and deliver the features that you need and will help the community.

I've updated the links for SDK minimal and SDK EC2 in the pull request description so that they now point to persistent locations.

My earlier comments still apply:

@res0nance , @fcojfernandez , @MRamonLeon , @thoulen , or @froblesmartin this has been tested in earlier iterations with good results. Would you be willing to merge and release a new version so that users can access the most recent machine types?
