This PR refactors all internal js files (except core) to be written as ES modules. `__bootstrap`has been mostly replaced with static imports in form in `internal:[path to file from repo root]`. To specify if files are ESM, an `esm` method has been added to `Extension`, similar to the `js` method. A new ModuleLoader called `InternalModuleLoader` has been added to enable the loading of internal specifiers, which is used in all situations except when a snapshot is only loaded, and not a new one is created from it. --------- Co-authored-by: Bartek Iwańczuk <biwanczuk@gmail.com> |

deno_ffi
This crate implements dynamic library ffi.
Performance
Deno FFI calls have extremely low overhead (~1ns on M1 16GB RAM) and perform on par with native code. Deno leverages V8 fast api calls and JIT compiled bindings to achieve these high speeds.
Deno.dlopen generates an optimized and a fallback path. Optimized paths are
triggered when V8 decides to optimize the function, hence call through the Fast
API. Fallback paths handle types like function callbacks and implement proper
error handling for unexpected types, that is not supported in Fast calls.
Optimized calls enter a JIT compiled function "trampoline" that translates Fast
API values directly for symbol calls. JIT compilation itself is super fast,
thanks to tinycc. Currently, the optimized path is only supported on Linux and
MacOS.
