Description of problem:

Submariner cloud-prepare fails when there is an existing VPC that was not provisioned during the initial installation of OpenShift

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ACM cluster info:

OpenShift 4.14.25 on AWS
ACM 2.9.4
submariner 0.16.0
AWS

Downstream managed OCP cluster info:

OpenShift 4.14.16 on AWS
ODF 4.14.8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Label an existing worker node with the following:

oc label node submariner.io/gateway=true`

2.  Deploy submariner following the docs

Actual results:

When deploying the submariner gateway node, the deployment fails with the following error:

SubmarinerConfigController reconciliation failed: unable to retrieve the VPC ID: VPC uselab008-5vm8d-vpc not found

Expected results:

Submariner should deploy with an existing VPC that was created prior to the installation of OpenShift

Additional info:

The initial deployment of these clusters uses an existing AWS ec2 VPC that is not provisioned at installation time. The customer pre-provisions the VPC due to their security policy. The VPC name is not what submariner cloud-prepare expects and the cloud-prepare fails to deploy the gateway node.
