Export named 'then' gets called when module is loaded

[robintown]

Describe the bug

If one of the modules in your project has an exported function named then, Vitest will call this function when loading the module. This can either cause your tests to fail or cause Vitest to hang, depending on whether the function returns or throws.

This is a known issue of Vite SSR as we replace static import with dynamic import and needs await on promise. Duplicate of https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/issues/5122

Node doesn't support such dynamic import either https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitest-dev-vitest-xmakvp?file=repro.js, so I would imagine then export needs to be avoided in general.
