profiles/use.desc: create USE=strip global USE flag
Primarily intended for use by linux-mod-r1.eclass, which needs
a global IUSE to control stripping of kernel modules *before*
signatures and compression (alternative would be to simply never
strip, but that seem sub-optimal).
Originally meant to be USE=modules-strip or similar, but this can
have a more general use case when portage does not know how to
strip special files properly while the ebuild does.
Notable is mingw ebuilds (wine-*, dxvk, vkd3d-proton, mingw64-*).
If portage uses x86_64-pc-linux-strip on, e.g. mingw64-toolchain's
runtime libraries, then at least the 32bit toolchain ends up broken
and cannot compile anything anymore. But then dostrip -x results in
unstripped files while we can use x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip in the
ebuild potentially saving 60MB+. Currently this is done through
USE=debug, but does not feel fully fitting given this is not about
adding debugging paths (or even symbols, or anything) and is merely
"do not strip".
No USE in ::gentoo currently contain the word "strip" and defining
it should not conflict.
To be clear, this USE should /only/ be used in situations where
the alternative would be needing to not strip at all -- stripping
should be done by the package manager whenever it is possible.
