Remove Exoscale support due to CloudStack API deprecation (#14841)

* Remove Exoscale support due to CloudStack API deprecation (fixes #14839) Exoscale deprecated their CloudStack API on May 1, 2024, migrating to a proprietary API v2 that is incompatible with CloudStack-based tools. Changes: - Remove Exoscale as default CloudStack endpoint - Add detection and clear error message for Exoscale endpoints - Update documentation to remove Exoscale references - Add recommendations for alternative providers - Maintain generic CloudStack support for other providers Users attempting to use Exoscale will now receive a helpful error message explaining the situation and suggesting alternative providers with European presence (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Scaleway). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Remove remaining Exoscale references from input.yml, README, and prompts - Removed 'Exoscale optimised' label from CloudStack in input.yml - Removed Exoscale mention from README.md provider list - Removed Exoscale URL example from CloudStack API endpoint prompt * Fix typo: 'API ssecret' -> 'API secret' in CloudStack prompt --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

-Example for Exoscale (European cloud provider exposing CloudStack API), visit https://portal.exoscale.com/u/<your@account>/account/profile/api to gather the required information: CloudStack api key and secret.
+Algo scripts will ask you for the API details. You need to fetch the API credentials and the endpoint from your CloudStack provider's control panel.

+For CloudStack providers, you'll need to set:
 
 ```bash
 export CLOUDSTACK_KEY="<your api key>"
 export CLOUDSTACK_SECRET="<your secret>"
-export CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT="https://api.exoscale.com/compute"
+export CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT="<your provider's API endpoint>"
 ```
