use-m: dynamically import any JavaScript module

// load.cjs — robust loader for use-m (https://github.com/link-foundation/use-m).
//
// The naive bootstrap recommended for loading use-m anywhere:
//
//   const { use } = eval(await (await fetch('https://unpkg.com/use-m/src/use.js')).text());
//
// crashes with a confusing error whenever the CDN hiccups. When unpkg (or its
// upstream) returns an error body such as the plain text "Internal Server Error"
// instead of the module source, eval() tries to parse that text as JavaScript and
// throws `SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'Server'` — pointing at the eval line
// with no hint that the real problem is a transient network/CDN failure.
// See https://github.com/link-foundation/use-m/issues/58.
//
// `loadUseM()` makes the bootstrap resilient:
//   - it validates the HTTP status and the response body before eval(),
//   - it retries each source and falls back across multiple CDN mirrors, and
//   - it fails with a clear, actionable error listing every attempt instead of a
//     cryptic SyntaxError.
//
// `loadUseM()` reuses the SAME generic retry/fallback engine (`loadWithFallback`)
// that powers use-m's resilient per-package CDN loading, so the bootstrap and the
// rest of the codebase share one mechanism instead of duplicating it.
//
// NOTE: This is unrelated to `loader.js`, which is a Node.js `--loader` hook used
// to resolve bare npm specifiers; this file loads the use-m module itself.
