The term "native module" dates back to some of the oldest code
in the code base. Within the context of Node.js core it usually
refers to modules that are native to Node.js (e.g. fs, http),
but it can cause confusion for people who don't work on this
part of the code base, as "native module" can also refer to
native addons - which is even the case in some of the API
docs and error messages.
This patch tries to make the usage of these terms more consistent.
Now within the context of Node.js core:
- JavaScript scripts that are built-in to Node.js are now referred
to as "built-in(s)". If they are available as modules,
they can also be referred to as "built-in module(s)".
- Dynamically-linked shared objects that are loaded into
the Node.js processes are referred to as "addons".
We will try to avoid using the term "native modules" because it could
be ambiguous.
Changes in this patch:
File names:
- node_native_module.h -> node_builtins.h,
- node_native_module.cc -> node_builtins.cc
C++ binding names:
- `native_module` -> `builtins`
`node::Environment`:
- `native_modules_without_cache` -> `builtins_without_cache`
- `native_modules_with_cache` -> `builtins_with_cache`
- `native_modules_in_snapshot` -> `builtins_in_cache`
- `native_module_require` -> `builtin_module_require`
`node::EnvSerializeInfo`:
- `native_modules` -> `builtins
`node::native_module::NativeModuleLoader`:
- `native_module` namespace -> `builtins` namespace
- `NativeModuleLoader` -> `BuiltinLoader`
- `NativeModuleRecordMap` -> `BuiltinSourceMap`
- `NativeModuleCacheMap` -> `BuiltinCodeCacheMap`
- `ModuleIds` -> `BuiltinIds`
- `ModuleCategories` -> `BuiltinCategories`
- `LoadBuiltinModuleSource` -> `LoadBuiltinSource`
`loader.js`:
- `NativeModule` -> `BuiltinModule` (the `NativeModule` name used in
`process.moduleLoadList` is kept for compatibility)
And other clarifications in the documentation and comments.

Store all primordials as properties of the primordials object.
Static functions are prefixed by the constructor's name and prototype
methods are prefixed by the constructor's name followed by "Prototype".
For example: primordials.Object.keys becomes primordials.ObjectKeys.

Since the bootstrap does not actually use ESM at all, there
is no need to create this map so early. This patch moves
the initialization of the map to pre-execution,
so that the only binding loaded in loaders is native_module.
In addition, switch to SafeWeakMap.

This changes the primordials to expose built-in prototypes with their
methods already uncurried.
The uncurryThis function is therefore moved to the primordials.
All uses of uncurryThis on built-ins are changed to import the relevant
prototypes from primordials.
All uses of Function.call.bind are also changed to use primordials.

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
