Stripping reduces the template size from around 500MB to 40MB for Linux. This is added explicitly here because mkDerivation does not automatically strip binaries in the template directory. This also impacts the size of the exported games and programs. For example, here are the size of the `oh-my-git` package using this template, without and with stripping: ``` ❯ du -sh result*/ 375M result-oh-my-git-without-strip/ 45M result-oh-my-git-with-strip/ ``` GitHub: closes NixOS#170470

Describe the bug
The nixpkgs Godot export template for Linux is huge (about 500MB) and causes
all game exports to be at least as heavy.
Expected behavior
The export template and exported games should have the reasonable base size
below 50MB, like when generated with the pre-compiled binary templates
downloaded directly from the Godot website.
Additional context
Stripping the export templates may help, as suggested in the upstream
documentation:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/optimizing_for_size.html
Not sure of why it's not done automatically.
