Maybe enable `strict-boolean-expressions`

Together with #2120 and #2121, this'd do with all truthiness/falsiness checks, and requires these to be explicitly checked by themselves.

Why?

This would remove truthy/falsy expressions, such as;

let num: number | undefined = 0;
if (num) {
  console.log('num is defined');
}

These assertions may be difficult to follow, and also catch a lot more than just nullability; the above branch would never pass, 0 is falsy.

Instead, this lint would enforce the following;

let num: number | undefined = 0;
if (num !== undefined) {  // or `!= null`, as `undefined == null` 
  console.log('num is defined');
}

This would enable a ton more correctness in the code, and help subtle edgecases around falsifiable non-undefined values.
