This proposal introduces optional strict handling for template variables.

Currently, Django silently renders missing variables as empty strings.
This feature would allow enabling a strict mode where undefined variables
raise an exception instead.

The proposal includes:
- A global strict template variable setting.
- Optional per-variable override behavior.
- Backward compatibility by keeping strict mode disabled by default.

Feedback is welcome before proceeding further.

Comment:

This feature seems to be good, since it's hard to find the incorrect
variable name if there aren't any exceptions.
Is it needed to add a screenshot when the context variable name is invalid
to reproduce the issue?
