This patch adds `require()` support for synchronous ESM graphs under
the flag `--experimental-require-module`
This is based on the the following design aspect of ESM:
- The resolution can be synchronous (up to the host)
- The evaluation of a synchronous graph (without top-level await) is
also synchronous, and, by the time the module graph is instantiated
(before evaluation starts), this is is already known.
If `--experimental-require-module` is enabled, and the ECMAScript
module being loaded by `require()` meets the following requirements:
- Explicitly marked as an ES module with a `"type": "module"` field in
the closest package.json or a `.mjs` extension.
- Fully synchronous (contains no top-level `await`).
`require()` will load the requested module as an ES Module, and return
the module name space object. In this case it is similar to dynamic
`import()` but is run synchronously and returns the name space object
directly.
```mjs
// point.mjs
export function distance(a, b) {
return (b.x - a.x) ** 2 + (b.y - a.y) ** 2;
}
class Point {
constructor(x, y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; }
}
export default Point;
```
```cjs
const required = require('./point.mjs');
// [Module: null prototype] {
// default: [class Point],
// distance: [Function: distance]
// }
console.log(required);
(async () => {
const imported = await import('./point.mjs');
console.log(imported === required); // true
})();
```
If the module being `require()`'d contains top-level `await`, or the
module graph it `import`s contains top-level `await`,
[`ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE`][] will be thrown. In this case, users
should load the asynchronous module using `import()`.
If `--experimental-print-required-tla` is enabled, instead of throwing
`ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE` before evaluation, Node.js will evaluate the
module, try to locate the top-level awaits, and print their location to
help users fix them.

Internal Modules
The modules in lib/internal are intended for internal use in Node.js core
only, and are not accessible with require() from user modules. These modules
can be changed at any time. Reliance on these modules outside of core
is not supported in any way.
