module: print location of unsettled top-level await in entry points

When the entry point is a module and the graph it imports still
contains unsettled top-level await when the Node.js instance
finishes the event loop, search from the entry point module
for unsettled top-level await and print their location.

To avoid unnecessary overhead, we register a promise that only
gets settled when the entry point graph evaluation returns
from await, and only search the module graph if it's still
unsettled by the time the instance is exiting.

This patch only handles this for entry point modules. Other kinds of
modules are more complicated so will be left for the future.

Drive-by: update the terminology "unfinished promise" to the
more correct one "unsettled promise" in the codebase.
