Remove unnecessary __dirname template-literal prefix from relative require() paths. Node.js resolves relative require() paths correctly without it.

While this may look like nitpicking: require("./server") is transparent to static analysis tools - IDEs can resolve the path and support go-to-definition. Template literals with __dirname are opaque to them. It also removes another usage of __dirname, which has no native equivalent in ESM and would need to be replaced there anyway (when we switch to ESM anytime in the future).

The import reordering is a side effect: import-x/order treats template-literal require() calls differently from plain strings, so the previous order was no longer valid.

test fails because of #4055 ?

Will you rebase so the tests are green before merging?

Yes. I'll rebase tomorrow 🙂

Remove unnecessary `__dirname` template-literal prefix from
relative require() paths in js/app.js, js/server.js and js/utils.js.
