module: fix vm.SourceTextModule memory leak

Fix unbounded memory growth when creating SourceTextModule instances.

Root cause: module_.SetWeak() in the ModuleWrap constructor created
an undetectable garbage collection cycle. When both the JavaScript
wrapper object (made weak via MakeWeak()) and the v8::Module (made
weak via module_.SetWeak()) form a circular reference, V8's garbage
collector cannot detect the cycle because both references are weak
independently.

The fix removes module_.SetWeak(), keeping module_ as a strong
reference. The module is properly released when ~ModuleWrap() is
called after the wrapper object is garbage collected, breaking the
cycle.

Memory impact:
- Before: ~140 MB growth per 1,000 modules → OOM inevitable
- After: Modules properly garbage collected, stable memory

No breaking changes. Module cleanup happens correctly via the
wrapper object's weak callback.

Fixes: #59118
