Description

### Describe the bug
`dotnet format` emits a warning when the solution contains a project without a language (e.g. `modelproj`) that can't be suppressed even when the folder containing the project is excluded from the analysis.

### To Reproduce
1. Fetch the repro at https://github.com/mm-jhn/repro-20250123/
2. Run `dotnet format --verify-no-changes --exclude "DependencyValidation"`

**Expected**: The project is ignored, no warning is emitted.
**Actual**: _Warnings were encountered while loading the workspace. Set the verbosity option to the 'diagnostic' level to log warnings._
When you add `-v diag`, you get this warning:
```
Cannot open project 'C:\Users\[username]\source\repos\repro-20250123\DependencyValidation\DependencyValidation.modelproj' because the file extension '.modelproj' is not associated with a language.
```

### Exceptions (if any)
None, only warnings.

### Further technical details
Visual Studio 17.12.4 on Windows 11
