Only pass exclude-deprecated when True

The '--exclude-deprecated' parameter should only be passed to
oslo.config to parse when it is True.
The final generated sphinx syntax is[1] where [--exclude-deprecated]
doesn't require True/False value and only should be passed when True.

The change introducing this[2] causes parsing issue in oslo.config[3]
while checking <bool>.startswith (we pass True/False value) and even
after that while calling argparse[4] with following error[5].

[1] usage: sphinx-build [-h] [--config-dir DIR] [--config-file PATH] [--exclude-deprecated] [--format FORMAT] [--namespace NAMESPACE]
                        [--noexclude-deprecated] [--output-file OUTPUT_FILE]
