…rnals Webpack 5.107 preserves the defer and source import phase keywords on external dependencies the same way it preserves import attributes. Adds subsections under externalsType.module and externalsType.import showing the static and dynamic forms emitted in the output bundle. Refs: webpack/webpack#20934

Let's fix lint |
The reference link pointed to /configuration/module/#ruleparserimportattributes, which does not exist (the fragment-check on PR #8239 failed). Webpack docs have no dedicated "import attributes" page; the closest internal anchor is #rulewith, but that documents Rule.with as a matcher rather than import attributes themselves. Replace the internal link with the TC39 proposal URL so readers can learn what import attributes are.
