perf: use node: prefix to bypass require.cache call for builtins

[Fdawgs]

Allows redundant require.cache calls to be bypassed for builtin modules, saving a few yoctoseconds.

See https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#core-modules and discussion in nodejs/node repo regarding why require.cache calls are redundant for builtins.

Thanks, I didn't know this performance improvement existed. Have you come across e.g. a eslint setting so enforce this?

Only https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn/blob/main/docs/rules/prefer-node-protocol.md so far!

Interesting, if it is really part of the recommended configuration, which I believe we use in all our packages, I would have expected to see that warning before, but I never saw it

Oh sorry, it's part of a third party plugin, not the main eslint recommended ones.

ah gotcha, well thanks for mentioning nonetheless!

this breaks webpack: Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "node:crypto" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme). Webpack supports "data:" and "file:" URIs by default. You may need an additional plugin to handle "node:" URIs.
