v1.5.2 breaks next.js build

[oxcened]

Hey just wanted to give a heads up that the latest patch (v1.5.2) suddently broke my Next.js app pipeline, I figure others may face the same.
Seems like an issue with encode-utf8.

 Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /usr/src/app/node_modules/encode-utf8/index.js
#10 74.85 require() of ES modules is not supported.
#10 74.85 require() of /usr/src/app/node_modules/encode-utf8/index.js from /usr/src/app/node_modules/qrcode/lib/core/byte-data.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
#10 74.85 Instead rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /usr/src/app/node_modules/encode-utf8/package.json.

For now I'm fixing qrcode's version in my package to v1.5.1 as I'm not sure how this could be managed.

Also broke one of my apps, same error

Also broken for our SDK users

@soldair - this might be related to: dbbb46d

Any chance to revert and release v.1.5.3 to mitigate for now?

[NormandoHall]

Also broken sveltekit (vitejs)

💥 Breaking Changes
Convert package to ESM

Migration Guide:

This relases changes the package from a Common JS module to an EcmaScript module, and drops support for older versions of Node.

The minimum version of Node.js supported is now: 12.20.0, 14.13.1, and 16.0.0
The package must now be imported using the native import syntax instead of with require

This is the problem LOC:

node-qrcode/lib/core/byte-data.js

Line 1 in dc20f97

const encodeUtf8 = require('encode-utf8')

The solution is to properly handle ESM like someone tried to promote in #241, but that seems dead now. This has completely broken our application.
