Packages like @secure-exec/v8 distribute platform-specific native
binaries via optionalDependencies (e.g. @secure-exec/v8-darwin-arm64).
These packages use createRequire(import.meta.url).resolve() at runtime
to locate the correct platform binary, which breaks when esbuild bundles
them because import.meta.url then points to the bundle output directory.
Add a heuristic to the auto-external detection that checks if a package
has optionalDependencies with platform-specific names (darwin, linux,
win32, etc.). When 2+ such deps are found, the package is marked as
external so it resolves binaries from its real node_modules location.
