7f928d150e librustc: Forbid external crates, imports, and/or items from being
declared with the same name in the same scope.

This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:

    use foo::bar;
    use baz::bar;

Change this code to the following:

    use baz::bar;

Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:

    use foo::*; // including `bar`
    use baz::bar;

Change this code to remove the glob:

    use foo::{boo, quux};
    use baz::bar;

Or qualify all uses of `bar`:

    use foo::{boo, quux};
    use baz;

    ... baz::bar ...

Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.

    extern crate std;

Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.

The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.

This implements RFC #116.

Closes #16464.

6d6d4c987f test: Add a test for #7663
I think that the test case from this issue has become out of date with resolve
changes in the past 9 months, and it's not entirely clear to me what the
original bug was.

Regardless, it seems like tricky resolve behavior, so tests were added to make
sure things resolved correctly and warnings were correctly reported.

Closes #7663
