[chore] Replace require() with import/export

[birkskyum]

Newer tooling expect import/export, so gradually getting this sorted out will help with:

@gvwilson This requires extra refactoring. Let's keep it open.

Doesn't the move to esbuild mean we have to get rid of require() ?

No. We don't have to.

👍 How many more days of work do you think it will be to remove require() when the time comes?

I think not only the require calls should be changed to import; but also the module export and type should change to ESM. Also the filenames may need to be converted from .js to .mjs. No?
That looks it require a couple of weeks.

@birkskyum Have you done similar change modernizing the mapbox > maplibre code?
