Split dynamic import into its own page

[Josh-Cena]

Summary

Motivation

Fix #10550

Dynamic import and static imports are very different: the former is an expression, the latter is a declaration. Dynamic imports are allowed in non-modules. Dynamic imports allow arbitrary expressions as specifiers. All these differences make it reasonable to split them into two pages.

I suppose this also needs work from BCD to split the compat table?

[teoli2003]

Yes, we need a new file there: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/tree/main/javascript/operators

[teoli2003]

Yes, it is a good idea. I've added a few comments and suggestions.

[teoli2003]

Looks good to me. Let's wait until the PR for bcd is created before formally reviewing and merging this.

[Josh-Cena]

I also noticed import.meta is in "statements & declarations" instead of "expressions & operators". I will follow-up since that one requires BCD refactor as well.
