ESM: restore support for ASAR

[bpasero]

For ESM we have disabled ASAR but we should investigate bringing it back.

We used to have this code to inject the lookup path:

vscode/src/bootstrap-node.js

Lines 210 to 233 in 789c320

	module.exports.enableASARSupport = function () {
	// ESM-comment-begin
	// const NODE_MODULES_PATH = path.join(__dirname, '../node_modules');
	// const NODE_MODULES_ASAR_PATH = `${NODE_MODULES_PATH}.asar`;
	//
	// // @ts-ignore
	// const originalResolveLookupPaths = Module._resolveLookupPaths;
	//
	// // @ts-ignore
	// Module._resolveLookupPaths = function (request, parent) {
	// const paths = originalResolveLookupPaths(request, parent);
	// if (Array.isArray(paths)) {
	// for (let i = 0, len = paths.length; i < len; i++) {
	// if (paths[i] === NODE_MODULES_PATH) {
	// paths.splice(i, 0, NODE_MODULES_ASAR_PATH);
	// break;
	// }
	// }
	// }
	//
	// return paths;
	// };
	// ESM-comment-end
	};

But going forward, Electron should expose a way for us to enlist a path as ASAR path so that it can internally handle this as early as possible.

Was there any movement on the Electron side here?

No we haven't pursued this yet in Electron.
