Rollup-Incompatible getModuleInfo behavior

[ef4]

Describe the bug

This tiny plugin always succeeds in rollup (and vite build) and always fails in vite dev:

{
  name: 'example",
  load(id) {
    if (!this.getModuleInfo(id)) {
      throw new Error(`load should always see module info`);
    }
  },
}

Rollup promises to construct moduleInfo synchronously when any load is first started, and even shows an example of calling this.load({ id }) and not awaiting the promise as a way to force this.getModuleInfo(id).meta to exist.

I think this disconnect is at the root of issues like #6766.

From some commentary on a related PR it sounds like it's a goal for Vite's module graph to not contain modules that haven't finished loading yet, but if that is true getModuleInfo needs to be driven at least partly from a different source of truth that does have entries for not-yet-loaded modules.
