Subject: [PATCH] Repo: Set status checks to strict (#1640)

We just had an issue with merging a stale branch, which fixed
@kevinjqliu right away in
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/1638

In `iceberg-rust` they have this nice button:

<img width="920" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/194fef4a-89aa-407c-a113-4253fc5ad04b"
/>

I think this is the result of the following config:


https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/blob/63545895d2c35db0f0c550cb1c08acd52a9f5b4c/.asf.yaml#L36C10-L39C21

I don't think it would work well for Java because of the activity there,
and the time it takes to run the Spark integration tests, but I would
love to have this button here.
