Node loaders evaluate non-ok HTTP responses as JavaScript

[dmchoi77]

Describe the bug

When a Node.js remote entry or federated runtime chunk returns a non-ok HTTP response, the loader reads the response body and evaluates it as JavaScript.

For example, if a remote entry or chunk URL returns a 404/503 text response, the reported error can become a JavaScript syntax error such as Unexpected identifier instead of the actual HTTP failure.

I intend to submit a PR for this issue.

Expected behavior:
The Node loaders should detect non-ok HTTP responses before evaluation and report an error that includes the HTTP status and URL.

Actual behavior:
The non-ok response body can be evaluated as JavaScript, which hides the original HTTP failure behind a syntax/evaluation error.
