Description

See the new require.resolve.paths(request) and the updated require.resolve(request[, options]).

resolve-from can use these new exposed functions instead of accessing private functions of Module. Of course, only when they are available.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the new require.resolve options and require.resolve.paths API in Node.js v8.9.0, and refactor the code to use these public APIs instead of accessing private Module functions, ensuring backward compatibility with older Node.js versions.
