Support eslint.config.cjs

See original GitHub issue

The problem you want to solve.

The upcoming simplified configuration system (RFC), or flat config (#13481), only supports eslint.config.js, but it can’t be used if there’s "type": "module" in the project’s package.json, since ESLint doesn’t currently support loading an ECMAScript module as a config file.

Your take on the correct solution to problem.

ESLint should also support eslint.config.cjs by default, so that "type": "module" can be used along with ESLint.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this change?

Maybe if it’s not too hard to implement.

We’re thinking about using import() to load eslint.config.js. In that case, I think that support for .cjs and .mjs extensions doesn’t seem necessary: in "type": "module" projects eslint.config.js should be written as ESM, in other projects as CJS.

If it turns out that we still have to use require() to load configs, then I think we should support eslint.config.cjs, because require("eslint.config.js") doesn’t work in "type": "module" projects.
