Description
I'd like to be able to detect when I'm requiring a file that has no exports. Maybe more specifically when I try to assign it to a variable. For example:
```
// y.js
function xyz() {
console.log("HELLO")
}
```
```
// x.js
const y = require('./y'); // <- this should be a lint error because y.js exports nothing
y();
```
Apologies if this is already possible and I'm just doing something wrong.

Research direction
Use the x.js/y.js example in the issue as the reproducer: requiring y.js yields no exports, but assigning the result to y is not flagged. Identify the existing CommonJS import analysis and its tests, then consider the work complete when this case is detected without incorrectly flagging valid exports.
