module: support require()ing synchronous ESM graphs
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.
