docs(core): remove include command from nx-graph (#30233)
When we run `nx graph --help` we see that the `--include` commands is
not available.
So the docs should also reflect the current options.

# graph
Graph dependencies within workspace.
## Usage
```shell
nx graph
```
Install `nx` globally to invoke the command directly using `nx`, or use `npx nx`, `yarn nx`, or `pnpm nx`.
### Examples
Open the project graph of the workspace in the browser:
```shell
nx graph
```
Save the project graph into a json file:
```shell
nx graph --file=output.json
```
Generate a static website with project graph into an html file, accompanied by an asset folder called static:
```shell
nx graph --file=output.html
```
Print the project graph as JSON to the console:
```shell
nx graph --print
```
Show the graph where every node is either an ancestor or a descendant of todos-feature-main:
```shell
nx graph --focus=todos-feature-main
```
Exclude project-one and project-two from the project graph:
```shell
nx graph --exclude=project-one,project-two
```
Show the graph where every node is either an ancestor or a descendant of todos-feature-main, but exclude project-one and project-two:
```shell
nx graph --focus=todos-feature-main --exclude=project-one,project-two
```
Watch for changes to project graph and update in-browser:
```shell
nx graph --watch
```
