node: make builtin libs available for --eval

Make the builtin libraries available for the `--eval` and
`--print` CLI options, using the same mechanism that the
REPL uses.

This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`
unnecessary.

As part of this, the list of builtin modules and the code for
adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry
is added.
