Issue details

Is it possible to use ES6/import with JavaScript (not TypeScript)? I have a sample repo using the following steps: https://github.com/leviwolfe/import-pulumi

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a skeleton using pulumi new javascript
2. Change const pulumi = require("@pulumi/pulumi"); into import pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
3. Add "type": "module" to package.json

Expected: The pulumi preview command to display a preview.
Actual: The pulumi preview command displays the following error:

   error: Running program 'c:\code\import-pulumi' failed with an unhandled exception:
    Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module c:\code\import-pulumi\index.js from c:\code\import-pulumi\node_modules\@pulumi\pulumi\cmd\run\run.js not supported.
    Instead change the require of index.js in c:\code\import-pulumi\node_modules\@pulumi\pulumi\cmd\run\run.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Hi @leviwolfe - unfortunately this isn't something supported today.

We've captured the greater request of ECMAScript support for js projects in #4130 - please take a moment to upvote and use this for tracking - thanks!
