NPV-164: strictDeps must evaluate to true for new packages

Description

strictDeps helps ensure that inputs are placed in the correct list of dependencies (nativeBuildInputs, buildInputs, etc.). It should evaluate to true for all new packages, and once it evaluates to true, it should not regress.

For more information on strictDeps, see https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#var-stdenv-strictDeps.

Error message

- Attribute `pkgs.{package_name}` is a new package with `strictDeps` unset or set to `false`.
  Please enable `strictDeps = true;` in {file}.
