Throw an error when using the deprecated `--queue-exclude-external` flag.

### `queue-exclude-external` - Reason

External dependencies are now excluded by default. The `--queue-exclude-external` flag is no longer needed and has been deprecated. Use `--queue-include-external` if you need to include external dependencies.

### `queue-exclude-external` - Example

```bash
# This will show a warning (or error with strict control enabled)
$ terragrunt run --all plan --queue-exclude-external
WARN  The `--queue-exclude-external` flag is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Terragrunt. External dependencies are now excluded by default.
```
