Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(@schematics/angular): rely on strict template
 default in generated workspaces

Since strict templates are now the default in the Angular compiler, this
change removes the explicit "strictTemplates": true setting when creating
a new strict workspace. We now only explicitly set "strictTemplates": false
when the workspace is created with --strict=false to maintain consistent
behavior for non-strict setups.

See: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/67802
