…dynamically Background: some tools (namely esbuild) struggle to build a project with a mixed set of esm / commonjs style imports. Debugging this is proving to be particularly challenging to get to a root cause on, so instead of making a separate "commonjs shim" file like napi does it, dynamically create `require` via the `createRequire` api node exposes and call that instead inline. I think this should make the output build much less complex.
