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 adds support for ensuring that the top-level main into Node is
supported loading when it has no extension for backwards-compat with
NodeJS bin workflows.
In addition package.json caching is implemented in the module lookup
process.

This enables a --loader flag for Node, which can provide custom
"resolve" and "dynamicInstantiate" methods for custom ES module
loading.
In the process, module providers have been converted from classes
into functions and the module APIs have been made to pass URL strings
over objects.
