doc: require() tries first core not native modules

Browse Source 
Change a single word in documentation with a more precise one.

Native is a module compiled in machine "native" code.
A module normally written in a compiled language, not in JavaScript.

Core modules form Node's built-in "core" functionalities.
You don't need to install them. They are included in every Node installation
and documented in https://nodejs.org/api/ .

If the module identifier passed to `require()` is not a native module,
and does not begin with `'/'`, `'../'`, or `'./'`, then Node.js starts at the
parent directory of the current module, and adds `/node_modules`, and
attempts to load the module from that location. Node will not append
`node_modules` to a path already ending in `node_modules`.

If it is not found there, then it moves to the parent directory, and so
