feat(core): add --exclude-task-dependencies flag (#27137)

<!-- Please make sure that your commit message follows our format -->
<!-- Example: `fix(nx): must begin with lowercase` -->

<!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you
can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention
someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they
will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes,
and generate it for you if appropriate. -->

## Current Behavior
There is no option to exclude dependent tasks when running Nx.

## Expected Behavior
There is a flag, `--exclude-task-dependencies`, to exclude task deps
from running. This is inline with other tools:

- [dotnet
cli](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-build#:~:text=%2D%2Dno%2D-,dependencies,-Ignores%20project%2Dto)

merged. -->

Fixes #18053

# affected
Run target for affected projects
## Usage
```shell
nx affected
```
Install `nx` globally to invoke the command directly using `nx`, or use `npx nx`, `yarn nx`, or `pnpm nx`.
### Examples
Run custom target for all affected projects:
```shell
nx affected -t custom-target
```
Run tests in parallel:
```shell
nx affected -t test --parallel=5
```
Run lint, test, and build targets for affected projects. Requires Nx v15.4+:
```shell
nx affected -t lint test build
```
Run tests for all the projects affected by changing the index.ts file:
```shell
nx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts
```
Run tests for all the projects affected by the changes between main and HEAD (e.g., PR):
```shell
nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD
```
Run tests for all the projects affected by the last commit on main:
```shell
nx affected -t test --base=main~1 --head=main
```
Run build for only projects with the tag `dotnet`:
```shell
nx affected -t=build --exclude='*,!tag:dotnet'
```
Use the currently executing project name in your command:
```shell
nx affected -t build --tag=$NX_TASK_TARGET_PROJECT:latest
```
Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview:
```shell
nx affected -t=build --graph
```
Save the task graph to a file:
```shell
nx affected -t=build --graph=output.json
```
Print the task graph to the console:
```shell
nx affected -t=build --graph=stdout
```
## Options
### ~~all~~
Type: `boolean`
**Deprecated:** Use `nx run-many` instead
### base
Type: `string`
Base of the current branch (usually main)
### batch
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`
Run task(s) in batches for executors which support batches
### configuration
Type: `string`
This is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects
### exclude
Type: `string`
Exclude certain projects from being processed
### excludeTaskDependencies
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`
Skips running dependent tasks first
### files
Type: `string`
Change the way Nx is calculating the affected command by providing directly changed files, list of files delimited by commas or spaces
### graph
Type: `string`
Show the task graph of the command. Pass a file path to save the graph data instead of viewing it in the browser. Pass "stdout" to print the results to the terminal.
### head
Type: `string`
Latest commit of the current branch (usually HEAD)
### help
Type: `boolean`
Show help
### nxBail
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`
Stop command execution after the first failed task
### nxIgnoreCycles
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`
Ignore cycles in the task graph
### output-style
Type: `string`
Choices: [dynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes]
Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs
| option | description |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| dynamic | use dynamic output life cycle, previous content is overwritten or modified as new outputs are added, display minimal logs by default, always show errors. This output format is recommended on your local development environments. |
| static | uses static output life cycle, no previous content is rewritten or modified as new outputs are added. This output format is recommened for CI environments. |
| stream | nx by default logs output to an internal output stream, enable this option to stream logs to stdout / stderr |
| stream-without-prefixes | nx prefixes the project name the target is running on, use this option remove the project name prefix from output |
### parallel
Type: `string`
Max number of parallel processes [default is 3]
### runner
Type: `string`
This is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json
### skipNxCache
Type: `boolean`
Default: `false`

### targets
Type: `string`
Tasks to run for affected projects
### uncommitted
Type: `boolean`
Uncommitted changes
### untracked
Type: `boolean`

### verbose
Type: `boolean`

### version
Type: `boolean`
Show version number
