We currently ignore invalid `main` entries in package.json files.
This does not seem to be very user friendly as it's certainly an
error if the `main` entry is not a valid file name. So instead of
trying to resolve the file otherwise, throw an error immediately to
improve the user experience.
To keep it backwards compatible `index.js` files in the same directory
as the `package.json` will continue to be resolved instead but that
behavior is now deprecated.

test for unusual error cases: verify that module require()
falls back to index if package.json names a missing file and
throws an error if package.json is unparseable.

If the package.json does not contain the string '"main"', skip parsing
it to JSON.
Note that this changes the behavior of the module loader in the presence
of package.json files that don't contain legal JSON. Such files used to
throw an exception but now they are simply ignored unless they contain a
"main" property.
To me, that seems like a good trade-off: I observe a 25% reduction in
start-up time on a medium-sized application[0].

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
This adds basic support for situations where there is a package.json
with a "main" field. That "main" module is used as the code that is
loaded when the package folder is required.
