Add module transpilation docs (#44518)

Module transpilation docs were missing from the [compilers documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/compiler). The text was mostly copied from the [Beta docs](https://beta.nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js#transpilepackages).

+### Module Transpilation
+
+Next.js can automatically transpile and bundle dependencies from local packages (like monorepos) or from external dependencies (`node_modules`). This replaces the `next-transpile-modules` package.
+
+```js
+// next.config.js
+
+module.exports = {
+  transpilePackages: ['@acme/ui', 'lodash-es'],
+}
+```

 ### Modularize Imports
 
 Allows to modularize imports, similar to [babel-plugin-transform-imports](https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-transform-imports).
