Description

Adding an option to access the source map would ease the integration with build tools. e.g.:

const {code, map} = optimizeJs(input, {
  sourceMap: true,
  extractSourceMap: true,
})

Research direction
The issue requests adding a sourceMap option to the optimize js API. Review the current codebase, particularly the main module (likely index.js), to see how the API is structured and how output is returned. Check existing comments for any implementation ideas. The implementation would involve parsing the source file and generating a source map using a library like mozilla/source map. Ensure the option is properly documented and tested.
