Enable the Kotlin JS IR backend

See original GitHub issue

Hello, My project https://github.com/jmfayard/kotlin-cli-starter depends on both ktor-client and CliKt

ktor-client is only available with the IR backend for JavaScript
CliKt is only available with the legacy backend

CliKt can’t use the IR backend because it depends on kotest who is only available with the legacy backend.

https://github.com/ajalt/clikt/pull/291

So I’m stuck

Please describe the feature you’d like to see including any solutions in mind if you have any

# gradle.properties
# Enable consumers to use IR JS backend https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-ir-compiler.html
kotlin.js.compiler=both

Looks like clikt is on 4.3.1 which is 6 months old. We switched over to IR both in 4.4.x if I remember correctly (assuming adding js(BOTH) is sufficient to able it, as I thought it was).
