Configuration for Single Node, single zone IPI Cluster still creates multiple NAT Gateways in AWS - 4.16.44 #9838

Description

@johnd-nc

When doing an IPI install of Openshift 4.16.44 to create a single node cluster in a single Availability Zone on AWS, the Openshift installer creates a VPC with subnets and NAT gateways in three AZ's, resulting in unnecessary cost. The additional subnets and NAT Gateways are unnecessary for a single node cluster and simply result in wasted cost on NAT Gateways and public IP Addresses along with an increased attack surface.

This is the install-config.yaml

additionalTrustBundlePolicy: Proxyonly
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
compute:
- architecture: amd64
  hyperthreading: Enabled
  name: worker
  platform: {}

  platform: 
    aws:
      type: c6a.8xlarge
      zones:
        - eu-west-2a
  replicas: 1

  networkType: OVNKubernetes
  serviceNetwork:

  aws:
    region: eu-west-2
    zones: 
      - eu-west-2a

Expected behaviour is that the installer would not create resources in availability zones that are not listed in the install-config.yaml. For the install-config.yaml above this would mean a vpc with one public and one private subnet in eu-west-2a, along with a single NAT gateway using a single public IP address in the same zone. What it creates however is this:
