Preserve resolved external dynamic imports.

When rollup.output.dynamicImportInCjs is false, this hook delegates resolved external imports to Rollup, which converts them to require(). An external ESM module with top-level await then fails to load. Distinguish external module IDs from internal modules before returning null.

Review comment at @src/builders/rollup/config.ts around lines 158 - 168:
Update renderDynamicImport to distinguish resolved external module IDs from
internal modules before returning null. When dynamicImportInCjs is false,
preserve native import syntax for external modules so Rollup does not convert
them to require(); retain the existing delegation behavior for internal modules,
using Rollup’s available resolution information.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
