Deprecate 'java.configuration.checkProjectSettingsExclusions' (#2311)

- If users want to change the place to generate metadata files they can
  use 'java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot'.
- If users just want to hide the metadata files at the file explorer,
  they can use 'files.exclude' directly.
