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.

This completely refactors the `expectsError` behavior: so far it's
almost identical to `assert.throws(fn, object)` in case it was used
with a function as first argument. It had a magical property check
that allowed to verify a functions `type` in case `type` was passed
used in the validation object. This pattern is now completely removed
and `assert.throws()` should be used instead.
The main intent for `common.expectsError()` is to verify error cases
for callback based APIs. This is now more flexible by accepting all
validation possibilites that `assert.throws()` accepts as well. No
magical properties exist anymore. This reduces surprising behavior
for developers who are not used to the Node.js core code base.
This has the side effect that `common` is used significantly less
frequent.

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE is the most common error used throughout the
code base. This improves the error message by providing more details
to the user and by indicating more precisely which values are allowed
ones and which ones are not.
It adds the actual input to the error message in case it's a primitive.
If it's a class instance, it'll print the class name instead of
"object" and "falsy" or similar entries are not named "type" anymore.

This makes a effort to make sure all of these errors will actually
also show the received input.
On top of that it refactors a few tests for better maintainability.
It will also change the returned type to always be a simple typeof
instead of special handling null.
