* This function uses Node's `vm` modules to evaluate the `module.exports` of a given source string
*
* Example:
*
* ```javascript
* const { exports: moduleExports } = evaluateModuleFromSource("const foo = 7;\n module.exports.bar = 10 + foo;");
*
* assert(moduleExports.bar === 17);
* ```
*
* @param {String} source to be evaluated using Node's `vm` modules
* @param {{ require: Function }} options used in the context during evaluation of the Node module
* @returns {{ exports: any }} exports added to the script's `module.exports` context
