This is not possible, as those options are per-router options. There is
no global way of adding a specific option to all routers. The best I can
suggest is to make use of macros or .include to add the same text to
all routers, if that is really what you want to do.
In any case, are you sure you want to add those to *all* routers,
including those that route addresses to remote servers about whose email
addresses you know nothing? (I suppose it might do no harm, but it
doesn't look sensible to me.)

If what you want to do is to strip suffixes from local parts for
processing by subsequent routers, you can use a redirect router before
those routers (but after the routers that handle remote addresses):
strip_suffixes:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = +*
data = ${quote_local_part:$local_part}@$domain
If there is no suffix, the router is skipped; if there is a suffix, it
is stripped. You can also use redirect_router to pass a redirected
address directly to the following router.

I suspect that nobody does (totally globally).
