Issue:
Native Terraform/OpenTofu function templatestring() does not work in Terragrunt as a builtin function.
## Describe the bug

A new function templatestring() was added in Terraform 1.9 and Opentofu 1.7. This New function does not work when attempting to use in terragrunt as a built-in function https://terragrunt.gruntwork.io/docs/reference/built-in-functions/#terraform-built-in-functions, both when using the Terraform binary and the OpenTofu binary.

## Steps To Reproduce

Define locals block that uses function [templatestring()](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/functions/fileset).

example/terragrunt.hcl:
```hcl
locals {
  template = "$${stage}-test"
  name = templatestring(local.template, { stage = "staging" } )
}

inputs = {
  name = local.name
}
```

example/main.tf:
```hcl
variable "name" {}

resource "aws_sqs_queue" "example" {
  name  = var.name
}
```

## Expected behavior

Here is the expected behaviour

```
$ terragrunt init

OpenTofu has been successfully initialized!
```

Here is the actual behaviour

```
$ terragrunt init

ERRO[0000]   on /.../example/terragrunt.hcl line 7, in locals: 
ERRO[0000]    7:   name     = templatestring(local.template, { stage = "staging" }) 
ERRO[0000]                                              
ERRO[0000] with                                         
ERRO[0000] local.template as "${stage}-test"  

ERRO[0000] There is no function named "templatestring".
```

## Versions

- Terragrunt version: v0.59.6
- OpenTofu Version: v1.7.2
- Terraform version: v1.9.2

## Additional context

Function works properly when defined directly in .tf file using opentofu/terraform 

example/main.tf:
```hcl
locals {
  template = "$${stage}-test"
  name = templatestring(local.template, { stage = "staging" } )
}

resource "aws_sqs_queue" "test" {
  name = local.name
}
```

```
$ terragrunt init

OpenTofu has been successfully initialized!
```


Hints from issue comments:
@begemotik: @levkohimins would be wonderful to get it supported in Terragrunt. Do you have an estimation?@yhakbar: Hey @begemotik , this is a good request, but not a priority right now.

Could you provide any reasons why this should be prioritized higher? I imagine most folks needing this functionality would simply use `run_cmd` right now.@Jpk518: > Hey @begemotik , this is a good request, but not a priority right now.

Is it possible to update the documentation if going forward Terragrunt doesn't plan to support all built in Opentofu/Terraform functions. Can lead to a little confusion https://terragrunt.gruntwork.io/docs/reference/built-in-functions/#opentofuterraform-built-in-functions@yhakbar: > Is it possible to update the documentation if going forward Terragrunt doesn't plan to support all built in Opentofu/Terraform functions.

Sure thing, I can update that. 

To be clear, we're not refusing to support this, we're just trying to prioritize effectively. If there's a use-case that requires this behavior, we can look at prioritizing it.@begemotik: > Could you provide any reasons why this should be prioritized higher? I imagine most folks needing this functionality would simply use run_cmd right now.

We manage multiple ASGs within one TF state and need to be able to re-use one config template for different cases.
There is another case I can imagine with "generate" block and dynamic providers rendering.

We haven't tried `run_cmd`, I might be mistaken but it occurs to be that `run_cmd` would be [hard to re-use across many states as it references local file.](https://terragrunt.gruntwork.io/docs/reference/built-in-functions/#run_cmd)
> run_cmd(command, arg1, arg2…​) runs a shell command and returns the stdout as the result of the interpolation. The command is executed at the same folder as the terragrunt.hcl file@ThisGuyCodes: We're a current Gruntwork subscriber and we have a need for this now.

We have a template string defined in an `_envcommon` module, and the variables to flesh it out are defined in the downstream instances. Ideally we could use `templatestring` to make the downstream use look like this:
```terraform
templatestring(include.envcommon.locals.template, {
  env   = local.env
  other = local.other
})
```

Without this we're using `format`, which requires some ugly and error prone repetition:
```terraform
format(include.envcommon.locals.template,
  local.env,
  local.other,
  local.env,
  local.other,
  local.env,
  local.other,
)
```

`templatestring` would allow us to use the same values in the template multiple times, and allow for a keyword based input rather than positional.@yhakbar: Hey @ThisGuyCodes ,

I see that you do have a very practical need for `templatestring`, and I'll share some thoughts regarding the challenge of supporting it.

## There is a workaround

For basically any gap in HCL functionality that you might have, there is the escape hatch of [run_cmd](https://terragrunt.gruntwork.io/docs/reference/built-in-functions/#run_cmd). It'll let you execute arbitrary commands in order to get some value that you need, so you can write-up a bash script, use something like envsubst or [boilerplate](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/boilerplate) to template out strings that you might need.

I know this is not always an optimal solution, but we are a little constrained otherwise.

## We cannot use OpenTofu/Terraform built-in functions as a library

This might change in the future for OpenTofu, but right now, implementations for OpenTofu HCL functions are in `internal`, and thus not exported for re-use outside the project. As a result, the best we can do is implement something net-new on our own for now.

## Building an alternative to `templatestring` in Terragrunt isn't high priority right now

The availability of a different function that is very explicitly not `templatestring` (e.g. `template_to_string`) in Terragrunt is something that users have workarounds for, as you mentioned with `templatestring` and `run_cmd` for more advanced cases.

If we were to introduce a net-new function with novel implementation for Terragrunt, it would be in collaboration with the community to work out the right API, figure out the best patterns for use in Terragrunt and drive implementation.

I would also point out that we _wouldn't_ want to implement anything too close to `templatestring`, as:
1. The `templatestring` function might change in the future, and we wouldn't want to try to preserve any kind of parity there.
2. The OpenTofu team might decide to export their HCL functions as a library, which we would wholeheartedly integrate with high priority.

Hopefully this gives insight as to the complications inherent to this issue.@ThisGuyCodes: Thanks for that suggestion @yhakbar. I did actually go down this path a bit for a few things, but ran into a blocking bug (or maybe undesired behavior?), which breaks pipelines: https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/issues/3850@yhakbar: @ThisGuyCodes 

Take a look at my response on the issue. Let me know if that helps@github-actions: This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for raising this issue.

+**Note:**
+
+Terragrunt was originally able to take advantage of built-in OpenTofu/Terraform built-in functions automatically, as they were exposed via an exported package. Since `v0.15.3`, however, these functions are now `internal` to the respective codebases.
+
+As a result, Terragrunt users typically use different functions to resolve the same problems. e.g. Terragrunt users can execute arbitrary shell commands with [run\_cmd](#run_cmd) in whatever language they like instead of using a bespoke HCL function to solve a given problem. In the future, OpenTofu may expose these functions via a public package, which would allow Terragrunt to access them directly. Until such a time, Terragrunt will continue to provide its own set of functions to solve problems relevant to Terragrunt users.
+
+If there is a specific function you would like to see supported directly in Terragrunt, please [open an issue](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/issues) requesting it. Make sure to include the use case you have in mind so we can understand the problem you are trying to solve, and why existing Terragrunt functions are not sufficient.

 `find_in_parent_folders()` searches up the directory tree from the current `terragrunt.hcl` file and returns the absolute path to the first `terragrunt.hcl` in a parent folder or exit with an error if no such file is found. This is primarily useful in an `include` block to automatically find the path to a parent `terragrunt.hcl` file:
