Also adds a new "strict" argument to realpath() to avoid changing the default behaviour of pathlib while sharing the implementation.

(cherry-picked from commit baecfbd)

This is necessary for gh-135034.

This is left for backward compatibility in 3.9, but it's always True because the only way for it to get False is a pre-Vista version of Windows. Python 3.9 only supports Windows 8.1+.
