Validate/extract schema fails when there is a url import in sanity.config.ts

[silvertech-daniel]

Describe the bug

Importing a theme from https://themer.sanity.build/api/hues in sanity.config.ts causes an error like

Error: Failed to load configuration file ".../sanity.config.ts":
Cannot find module 'https://themer.sanity.build/api/hues?...'
Require stack:
- .../sanity.config.ts
- .../node_modules/sanity/lib/_chunks-cjs/getStudioWorkspaces.js
- .../node_modules/sanity/lib/_internal/cli/threads/extractSchema.js
    at Module._resolveFilename (.../node_modules/esbuild-register/dist/node.js:4794:36)
    at TracingChannel.traceSync (node:diagnostics_channel:315:14)
    at Object.<anonymous> (.../sanity.config.ts:9:23)
    at Module._compile (.../node_modules/esbuild-register/dist/node.js:2258:26)

Expected behavior

• Avoid attempting to import urls when validating/extracting the schema
• Warn instead of error if an import fails during the schema validation/extraction
• Expose a way to configure the module loader

@silvertech-daniel did you find a workaround?

@devinhalladay I got through this by vendoring the file
