This PR updates the current `--experimental-modules` implementation
based on the work of the modules team and reflects Phase 2 of our
new modules plan.
The largest differences from the current implementation include
* `packge.type` which can be either `module` or `commonjs`
- `type: "commonjs"`:
- `.js` is parsed as commonjs
- default for entry point without an extension is commonjs
- `type: "module"`:
- `.js` is parsed as esm
- does not support loading JSON or Native Module by default
- default for entry point without an extension is esm
* `--entry-type=[mode]`
- allows you set the type on entry point.
* A new file extension `.cjs`.
- this is specifically to support importing commonjs in the
`module` mode.
- this is only in the esm loader, the commonjs loader remains
untouched, but the extension will work in the old loader if you use
the full file path.
* `--es-module-specifier-resolution=[type]`
- options are `explicit` (default) and `node`
- by default our loader will not allow for optional extensions in
the import, the path for a module must include the extension if
there is one
- by default our loader will not allow for importing directories that
have an index file
- developers can use `--es-module-specifier-resolution=node` to
enable the commonjs specifier resolution algorithm
- This is not a “feature” but rather an implementation for
experimentation. It is expected to change before the flag is
removed
* `--experimental-json-loader`
- the only way to import json when `"type": "module"`
- when enable all `import 'thing.json'` will go through the
experimental loader independent of mode
- based on https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4315
* You can use `package.main` to set an entry point for a module
- the file extensions used in main will be resolved based on the
`type` of the module

This follows the EPS an allows the node CLI to have ESM as an entry point.
`node ./example.mjs`. A newer V8 is needed for `import()` so that is not
included. `import.meta` is still in specification stage so that also is not
included.
