main field in package.json incorrectly pointing to non-existent eoc file, causing require failures #1173
Description
What happens
package.json declares "main": "eoc", but there is no eoc.js or eoc/ directory at the repo root - the actual entry point lives at src/eoc.js and is correctly declared under "bin". Requiring the package as a library fails:
$ node -e "require('.')"
Error: Cannot find module '.../eoc'. Please verify that the package.json has a
valid "main" entry
This is harmless for normal CLI usage (npx eolang / the installed eoc binary both go through bin, not main), but breaks for anything that does require('eolang') from another Node package.
What should happen
"main" should either point at the real entry file (src/eoc.js) or be removed if the package isn't meant to be required as a library.

@yegor256, please take a look when you have a moment.

The package still declares a nonexistent main entry. The proposed removal keeps the existing CLI entry; pointing main at src/eoc.js would execute CLI parsing during require(). Next step: review #1212. Current code: package.json:50.
