Ship Puppeteer as JavaScript modules

[mathiasbynens]

As Jack points out in https://twitter.com/Jack_Franklin/status/1349780548848390144, once even the oldest maintenance LTS version of Node.js supports JavaScript modules, we can ship Puppeteer as pure JavaScript modules.

We might want to wait for microsoft/TypeScript#45884 to make it into a TypeScript release.

As a first step, of course we should ship modules (in a way that Node.js can directly consume) alongside CommonJS. Then in the future, we can consider moving to modules-only.
