Rule suggestion: prefer node: prefixed imports when possible

[thernstig]

Older built-in Node modules such as fs now can be imported via either their name or node: + their name:

import fs from "fs";
import fs from "node:fs";

The prefixed versions are nice because they can't be overridden by user modules and are similarly formatted to to prefix-only modules such as node:test.

Suggestion: let's add a linter rule to enforce using them, with an auto-fixer.

yes, good to have. 👍

There is a rule like this in eslint-plugin-unicorn, maybe we can ask to copy/lift that over? https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn/blob/main/docs/rules/prefer-node-protocol.md

A general question: Would such a rule be better in https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import?

I resorted to using eslint-plugin-unicorn for that rule right now, but it feels like a nice rule to have in here or https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import.

edit: Or maybe not as eslint-plugin-import is for generic ECMAScript Module imports both for the web and Node.js, so maybe such a rule is more suited here after all.

I think it should be here as well

Can we cut a release?

We are in the development of the new major v17. I'll try to port it to v16 later.
