Support explicit `register` hook for functionless about functionless

Perhaps functionless/register instead of the lib

This is what I originally wanted but I'm not sure how to reconcile this with how the project is currently packaged in the lib director.

I'm pretty sure that is only true when importing the "functionless" - which refers to the package.json/main property. If you import a file directly, you have access to the root folder of the package.

We should verify, but i think this is how it works.

// "node_modules/functionless/lib/index.ts" because of package.json/main
import "functionless";

// "node_modules/functionless/register.js"
import "functionless/register"

Just tried this and it fails due to being unable to find the module. There has to be a way to make it work though. Probably some other config in the package.json. I'll keep digging since I think it looks much cleaner without the lib.

Is it included in the tgz?

[tvanhens]

Yeah it is but its in the lib directory. For some reason node doesn't seem to treat the main entrypoint as the root when resolving nested files, it treats the package.json location as the root.

Move it to the root and it'll work.

The only special case is when importing the module by name. All other file references start from the root. main only affects the default import.
