What does this change?

The unhealthy instance alarm is triggered whenever there have been several healthcheck failures within a single hour, which typically results in the ASG cycling instances and can lead to problems with deployment, scaling or handling traffic spikes. See also guardian/cdk#594.

This change enable the alarm on registration and report. The other EC2 app, notification, already has this enabled.

How has this change been tested?

CI passing should suffice.

How can we measure success?

Increased observability.
