Joyee Cheung 28f468a615 module: fix sync resolve hooks for require with node: prefixes
Previously, when require()-ing builtins with the node: prefix,
the sync resolve hooks were not properly invoked, and load hooks
could not override the builtin's format. This fixes the
handling and enables redirecting prefixed built-ins to on-disk
files and overriding them with other module types via hooks.

Internal Modules

The modules located in lib/internal directory are exclusively meant for internal usage within the Node.js core. They are not intended to be accessed via user modules require(). These modules may change at any point in time. Relying on these internal modules outside the core is not supported and can lead to unpredictable behavior.

In certain scenarios, accessing these internal modules for debugging or experimental purposes might be necessary. Node.js provides the --expose-internals flag to expose these modules to userland code. This flag only exists to assist Node.js maintainers with debugging internals. It is not meant for use outside the project.
