Subject: [PATCH] pkgsStrict: init

enabling top-level access to this config supports the effort to enable
`strictDeps` by default:
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/178468>

PRs to support musl, static, and cross compiled builds benefit from
simple instructions the reviewer can observe improvements, e.g.:

- "fixes build for `pkgsMusl.hello`"
- "fixes `nix-build -A pkgsStatic.hello`"
- "fixes `pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.hello`"

now strictDeps-related changes can benefit from this same idiom:

- "fixes build for `pkgsStrict.hello`"
