set module compiler option to node16 in tsconfig.base.json

[david-luna]

Description

#5145 sets an combination of compiler options that some uses get as an error in their editors. Ref #5145 (comment)

I order to fix that we need to change module compiler option to node16 but doing it makes the compilation fail for some files since they have imports that do not conform the the new module resolution giving the following output.

npm run compile

api/test/common/context/NoopContextManager.test.ts:28:9 - error TS2349: This expression is not callable.
  Type 'typeof assert' has no call signatures.

28         assert(
           ~~~~~~

  api/test/common/context/NoopContextManager.test.ts:17:1
    17 import * as assert from 'assert';
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Type originates at this import. A namespace-style import cannot be called or constructed, and will cause a failure at runtime. Consider using a default import or import require here instead.

...

So along with the change we need a small refactor of these files to fix the import expression and the usage of the module if applies.
