Backport of #50140

Because the version of V8 does not support with keyword, I have not ported the changes in the tests and the docs are still using assert. Actually, the V8 changes were not too difficult to backport, so I decided to do that. That way, with keyword will be supported on all non-EOL as soon as v18.x reaches EOL.

To avoid conflicts, I'm also backporting:

@nodejs/v8 I would love if I could get a review of 17ab6e9 – I don't expect it to be dangerous, but since 20.x is about to be LTS I'd rather have a few extra pairs of eyes on it.

Looking at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=13856:

Original commit message:
[import-attributes] Implement import attributes, with `assert` fallback
In the past six months, the old import assertions proposal has been
renamed to "import attributes" with the follwing major changes:
1. the keyword is now `with` instead of `assert`
2. unknown assertions cause an error rather than being ignored
To preserve backward compatibility with existing applications that use
`assert`, implementations _can_ keep it around as a fallback for both
the static and dynamic forms.
Additionally, the proposal has some minor changes that came up during
the stage 3 reviews:
3. dynamic import first reads all the attributes, and then verifies
that they are all strings
4. there is no need for a `[no LineTerminator here]` restriction before
the `with` keyword
5. static import syntax allows any `LiteralPropertyName` as attribute
keys, to align with every other syntax using key-value pairs
The new syntax is enabled by a new `--harmony-import-attributes` flag,
disabled by default. However, the new behavioral changes also apply to
the old syntax that is under the `--harmony-import-assertions` flag.
This patch does implements (1), (3), (4) and (5). Handling of unknown
import assertions was not implemented directly in V8, but delegated
to embedders. As such, it will be implemented separately in d8 and
Chromium.
To simplify the review, this patch doesn't migrate usage of the term
"assertions" to "attributes". There are many variables and internal
functions that could be easily renamed as soon as this patch landes.
There is one usage in the public API
(`ModuleRequest::GetImportAssertions`) that will probably need to be
aliased and then removed following the same process as for other API
breaking changes.

[import-attributes] Remove support for numeric keys
During the 2023-09 TC39 meeting the proposal has been updated to remove support
for bigint and float literals as import attribute keys, due to implementation
difficulties in other engines and minimal added value for JS developers.
