cjs package: Offers only CJS implementation (may not even have an `exports` field)
mixed package: Offers CJS and ESM implementation via `exports` field
pure esm package: Only offers an ESM implementation (may not even have an `exports` field)
pure cjs package: CommonJs package that prevents importing via `exports` field when `import` is used.
`*` This case will behave a bit unexpected for now, since `require` will return a Promise. So that need to be awaited. This will be fixed once the whole next.js bundle is ESM. It didn't work at all before this PR.
`**` This is a new Error when trying to require an esm package.
`***` For mixed packages we prefer the CommonJS variant to avoid a breaking change.
