No defaults for launch type on consumption of run-task

What would you like to be added

On ecs run-task, I'd like to have a launch-type configuration that has no default values.

Currently the ECS run-task CLI doesn't require this launch-type parameter by default. However, the orb implementation requires this, and defaults to a Fargate value - which doesn't make sense for users who use EC2 launch types.

Why is this needed

For users who use launch-type of EC2, the current default value creates implementation friction - as the launch-type needs to be overridden. Default values being Fargate here will probably cause some errors for future users that don't want their tasks run under Fargate launch type.

I have a similar dilemma with the awsvpc setting being true. In my circumstances, I would prefer to not have this default to true; and would ideally like to set this manually if I were actually using this setting.

Thanks for reporting this, we'll look into revising the defaults. In the meantime, there is an example of using run-task for EC2 launch types on https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/circleci/aws-ecs#usage-run-task-ec2
