feat: add jiti support

[folliehiyuki]

This PR adds https://github.com/unjs/jiti as a supported loader.

Sorry for the noisy ping, @pi0! As the maintainer of jiti, can you help me integrate it into gulpjs? I can't figure out why gulp doesn't do anything after loading jiti-register module.

Also, unlike other loaders listed in the index.js file, I can't find another way to supply custom options to jiti, except by setting environment variables. All those process.env calls seem pretty hacky (on top of them not working yet).

A simple setup for testing:

// package.json
///////////////////////////////
{
  "dependencies": {
    "gulp": "^5.0.0",
    "gulp-cli" "^3.0.0",
    "jiti": "^2.4.2"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "gulp-cli": {
      "interpret": "git+https://github.com/folliehiyuki/interpret#jiti-loader"
    }
  }
}

// gulpfile.ts
////////////////////////////////
function defaultTask(cb: any) {
  // place code for your default task here
  cb();
}

export default defaultTask;

Executing npm exec gulp should return nothing and succeed. Right now, it loads jiti module but still fails to recognize Typescript syntax.

Hi @folliehiyuki can you please clarify what specific options are currently not possible to be set via env variables? (and using loader approach, how to you see alternatives? feel free to create discussion upstream also 👍🏼 )

Sorry for the late reply! I totally forgot this PR.

I believe the problem is that this repo uses CommonJS, while the node register from jiti is written as ESModule. Can you provide a CJS version of https://github.com/unjs/jiti/blob/main/lib/jiti-register.mjs so it can be referenced here?

For CJS, the module can be used with NodeJS like this: node --require jiti/cjs-register script.ts.
