Node 22 ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE if gulpfile.mjs contains top-level await

[56789a1987]

Description

Node now allows using require() to import ES modules, ERR_REQUIRE_ESM is not triggered.
But if the module containes top-level await, ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE is triggered and it's not handled.

The following gulpfile.mjs contains top-level await.
In Node 20, this works.
In Node 22, this throws ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE.

Sample of gulpfile

import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
const packageJson = await readFile('package.json', 'utf8');
export function test(cb) {
    console.log(packageJson);
    cb();
}
export default test;

Terminal output

$ gulp
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE]: require() cannot be used on an ESM graph with top-level await. Use import() instead. To see where the top-level await comes from, use --experimental-print-required-tla.

[epelc]

Note this was broken in v22.12.0(works in v22.11.0 and earlier). It's due to this https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v22.12.0#requireesm-is-now-enabled-by-default

I just submitted a fix to detect the new error code. Stuck on old node version until then.
