import("eslint") doesn't work

[mdjermanovic]

With npx @eslint/create-config command, import("eslint") doesn't work because it can't resolve "eslint" from a location within npm-cache where @eslint/create-config gets installed. It looks like we need to find a way to resolve "eslint" relative to cwd.

An inelegant fix would be:

const eslint = await import(path.join(cwd, "./node_modules/eslint/lib/api.js"));

but it's not always safe, as the "/lib/api.js" may be changed in future changes, and not works for yarn pnp.
