[SPARK-3398] [SPARK-4325] [EC2] Use EC2 status checks.

This PR re-introduces [0e648bc](0e648bc) from PR #2339, which somehow never made it into the codebase.

Additionally, it removes a now-unnecessary linear backoff on the SSH checks since we are blocking on EC2 status checks before testing SSH.

Author: Nicholas Chammas <[email protected]>

Closes #3195 from nchammas/remove-ec2-ssh-backoff and squashes the following commits:

efb29e1 [Nicholas Chammas] Revert "Remove linear backoff."
ef3ca99 [Nicholas Chammas] reuse conn
adb4eaa [Nicholas Chammas] Remove linear backoff.
55caa24 [Nicholas Chammas] Check EC2 status checks before SSH.
