Standalone esm option --code-esm is not recognized

[nsheff]

What version of Ajv are you using? Does the issue happen if you use the latest version?

The docs say:

pass the --code-esm (CLI) flag if you want ESM exported code.

But when I do this:

ajv compile -s numeric.json --code-esm -o validate_schema.js

It gives this error:

error: parameter --code-esm is unknown

Indeed, in ajv help compile, there is no option listed for --code.esm. So, the documentation here is incorrect: https://ajv.js.org/standalone.html

Maybe related to #2209 -- is ESM module generation not working, and so the CLI option has been removed?

It looks like this option is simply not supported, but I can see a promising PR that adds it in. I will follow up.
ajv-validator/ajv-cli#200

This will either be an enhancement or it's just that the docs are wrong.
