[Bug]: failure of import of ESM package when called from CJS project

[tsushanth]

in CjsLoader.requireModule, catch resolveCjs failures and retry with resolveEsm when supportsSyncEvaluate is true, allowing require() of ESM-only packages (with only "import" export condition) to work on Node 24.9+

Found via automated repo scanning, fix written and reviewed before opening.

I don't think this is right - the only shape this catch triggers for is one Node itself rejects. resolveCjs throws when "exports" has an "import" branch and no require/default/module-sync, and require() of such a package in plain Node gives:

ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED  No "exports" main defined in .../node_modules/esm-only-pkg/package.json

With this patch Jest loads it. Tests passing where production throws is the wrong direction for a test runner.

This made me realise we're missing module-sync condition tho - I'll add that 🙂
