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/ .
