We had a customer bug report about the behavior of `info::device::execution_capabilities` for non-OpenCL devices. It turns out that the spec isn't clear about this. This PR clarifies that an exception should be thrown, which is consistent with our behavior for `info::device::profile` and `info::device::preferred_interop_user_sync`, which are also inherited from OpenCL. Another option would be to return an empty vector, so we could debate that if people think that's better. I also think we should deprecate this query, which is consistent with the other queries that are specific to the OpenCL backend. This PR deprecates the query in SYCL-NEXT, though I would also be open to retroactively deprecating it in SYCL 2020 with the rationale that we deprecated the other OpenCL-specific queries and simply forgot this one.

The WG decided to deprecate this in SYCL 2020 instead.
