Add a way to get the enabled conditions #55824

What is the problem this feature will solve?

Currently there is no way to get the enabled conditions easily. It requires checking process.env.NODE_OPTIONS and process.execArgv which is not robust. It should be noted that although it is an edge case, the process.env.NODE_OPTIONS check should be done before any code that modifies that variable.

Some concrete cases:

  1. Give custom resolvers to imitate Node.js's resolution (this one can be solved if parent parameter of import.meta.resolve is out of experimental, but I guess exposing conditions is less controversial than graduating that API from experimental)
  2. Let frameworks to show a warning when the user didn't set required / expected conditions.
    • For example, if frameworks expect users to set custom conditions, to show a warning they have to parse the conditions to do that for now.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Add conditions variable in node:module.

Example code:

// node -C development ./foo.mjs
import { conditions } from 'node:module';
console.log(conditions) // ['development']

I didn't add node to conditions in the example above, but maybe it makes sense to add that too.
But for import and require, I'm not sure if those should be added in that case. Probably the option would be to add both or neither.

What alternatives have you considered?
