Use new node: URLs where applicable?

[mattcollier]

This feature landed in Node 14.13.1

[EDIT] in 14.180+ this syntax can also be used with require().

nodejs/node#38343
nodejs/node#37246
nodejs/node#35387

Among other things, this is in support of "a more extensive standard library in JavaScript" that will eventually be put into the node: namespace and allows the re-use of existing NPM package names without conflicts.

In case this should be enforced, even with an option for require:

There are probably other things in that library too. I wanted to use the module checks as well:

v6 uses node: imports.
