* cts support
* better cjs/cts type checking
* deno compile cjs/cts support
* More efficient detect cjs (going towards stabilization)
* Determination of whether .js, .ts, .jsx, or .tsx is cjs or esm is only
done after loading
* Support `import x = require(...);`

When using the `--unstable-detect-cjs` flag or adding `"unstable":
["detect-cjs"]` to a deno.json, it will make a JS file CJS if the
closest package.json contains `"type": "commonjs"` and the file is not
an ESM module (no TLA, no `import.meta`, no `import`/`export`).
This is a follow-on to the earlier work in reducing string copies,
mainly focused on ensuring that ASCII strings are easy to provide to the
JS runtime.
While we are replacing a 16-byte reference in a number of places with a
24-byte structure (measured via `std::mem::size_of`), the reduction in
copies wins out over the additional size of the arguments passed into
functions.
Benchmarking shows approximately the same if not slightly less wallclock
time/instructions retired, but I believe this continues to open up
further refactoring opportunities.
Reduce the number of copies and allocations of script code by carrying
around ownership/reference information from creation time.
As an advantage, this allows us to maintain the identity of `&'static
str`-based scripts and use v8's external 1-byte strings (to avoid
incorrectly passing non-ASCII strings, debug `assert!`s gate all string
reference paths).
Benchmark results:
Perf improvements -- ~0.1 - 0.2ms faster, but should reduce garbage
w/external strings and reduces data copies overall. May also unlock some
more interesting optimizations in the future.
This requires adding some generics to functions, but manual
monomorphization has been applied (outer/inner function) to avoid code
bloat.
