Eslint-plugin-import: Exclude package main files by default from `no-unused-modules`

[ehmicky]

unusedExports: true with the no-unused-modules rule should never report files that are exported as the main file (main, browser or bin fields in package.json). What do you think?

[ljharb]

That sounds like a good enhancement, no need for it to be behind an option, even.

[rfermann]

What package.json should be used for this purpose?

• the package.json from the working directory,
• the package.json from the folder specified as src in the rule options (if existing) or
• the package.json closest to the file currently being linted (if existing and not the same as in the working directory)?

[ljharb]

For a given file, the closest package.json to it, that has a main, does not have private true, and points to it, marks it as used.

Thanks for implementing this @ljharb! :tada:
