Samuel Attard 471fe813bb module: avoid allocating a cache key string for every require()
The relative resolve cache was keyed by a concatenated
${parent.path}\x00${request} string, allocating a new key for every
require() call including fully cached ones. Key the cache by the
parent directory first (a Map keyed by the already-retained
module.path string) and then by the request (a dictionary object,
whose property access internalizes dynamically-constructed
specifiers). Faster on every measured workload shape and slightly
smaller in memory, since the concatenated keys are no longer
retained.
