Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ESM-compatible exports

Node.js handles ESM-CJS interoperability by using its [cjs-module-lexer](https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer) to parse CJS files and turn their exports into named exports.  cjs-module-lexer is deliberately limited in its capabilities.  Switching export styles makes jsonfile's exports recognizable by cjs-module-lexer so that ESM code such aborts

```
import { readFileSync } from 'jsonfile'
```

can work as expected, without having to change jsonfile itself to ESM.

Fixes #153
