* Returns the strides of a provided ndarray.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   When `copy` is `false`, changes to the returned strides array may mutate the input ndarray strides. If there is a chance that the returned strides will be mutated (either directly or by downstream consumers), set `copy` to `true` to prevent unintended side effects.
*
* @param x - input ndarray
* @param copy - boolean indicating whether to explicitly copy the value assigned to the input ndarray's `strides` property
* @returns strides
*
* @example
* var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/zeros' );
*
* var st = strides( zeros( [ 3, 3, 3 ] ), false );
* // returns [ 9, 3, 1 ]
