module: warn on using unfinished circular dependency
Warn when a non-existent property of an unfinished module.exports
object is being accessed, as that very often indicates the presence
of a hard-to-detect and hard-to-debug problem.

This mechanism is only used if `module.exports` is still a
regular object at the point at which the second, circular `require()`
happens.

The downside is that, temporarily, `module.exports` will have a
prototype other than `Object.prototype`, and that there may
be valid uses of accessing non-existent properties of unfinished
`module.exports` objects.

Performance of circular require calls in general is not
noticeably impacted.
