Silvan Mosberger 3b6169f87b lib.lists.foldl': Make strict in the initial accumulator
To maintain backwards compatibility, this can't be changed in the Nix language.
We can however ensure that the version Nixpkgs has the more intuitive behavior.

Reduce a list by applying a binary operator from left to right,
starting with an initial accumulator.
Before each application of the operator, the accumulator value is evaluated.
This behavior makes this function stricter than [`foldl`](#function-library-lib.lists.foldl).
Unlike [`builtins.foldl'`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/builtins.html#builtins-foldl'),
the initial accumulator argument is evaluated before the first iteration.
A call like
```nix
foldl' op acc [ x x x ... x x ]
```
is (denotationally) equivalent to the following,
but with the added benefit that `foldl'` itself will never overflow the stack.
```nix
let
acc = builtins.seq acc (op acc x );
acc = builtins.seq acc (op acc x );
acc = builtins.seq acc (op acc x );
...
acc = builtins.seq acc (op acc x);
acc = builtins.seq acc (op acc x );
in
acc
# Or ignoring builtins.seq
op (op (... (op (op (op acc x) x) x) ...) x) x
