Fork the goja project #3772

Description

Feature Description

Create a fork of the goja project under the Grafana GitHub organization to accelerate the development speed and unblock the ESM work.

Goja, the JS runtime is the biggest k6 dependency. While the project is stable and mostly feature-complete, it has only one time-constrained maintainer. As goja is the cornerstone of k6, and a dependency of hundreds of xk6 extensions, the k6 core team needs an ability to develop changes at a higher speed than is possible today.

This is especially important now that we are preparing for the v1.0.0 stable release.

The fork will unblock merging of the Modules support PR, the possible future work on a debugger, and other changes.
We should do our best not to diverge from master/goja more than necessary. We should upstream enhancements whenever possible and work with @dop251, the maintainer, to keep the project in a healthy state.
