`eval?.()` is now an indirect eval

Bug Report

There has apparently been a recent change to the behavior of eval?.() in all major JavaScript engines. It is now considered an indirect eval instead of a direct eval. This behavior was changed in July 2020. TypeScript is still compiling it as a direct eval and I didn't see an issue about this, so I created this issue.

💻 Code

globalThis.a = "global";
(a => eval?.("console.log(a)"))("local");

🙁 Actual behavior

When compiled with TypeScript, this prints local instead. That matches the behavior of older JavaScript runtimes such as node v14 but doesn't match the latest JavaScript runtimes.

🙂 Expected behavior

This code now prints global when run in an up-to-date browser or in node v15, so it should print global when compiled with TypeScript as well.

Start by compiling and running the provided Playground example in a current JavaScript runtime, then compare the emitted JavaScript with the reported global-versus-local result. The payload names no source files or tests, so locate the compiler path handling optional-call expressions and add coverage showing the expected indirect-eval behavior.
