refactor: create multiple HIR items for imports
When lowering `use` statements into HIR, they get a `Def` of the thing they're pointing at. This is great for things that need to know what was just pulled into scope. However, this is a bit misleading, because a `use` statement can pull things from multiple namespaces if their names collide. This is a problem for rustdoc, because if there are a module and a function with the same name (for example) then it will only document the module import, because that's that the lowered `use` statement points to.
The current version of this PR does the following:
* Whenever the resolver comes across a `use` statement, it loads the definitions into a new `import_map` instead of the existing `def_map`. This keeps the resolutions per-namespace so that all the target definitions are available.
* When lowering `use` statements, it looks up the resolutions in the `import_map` and creates multiple `Item`s if there is more than one resolution.
* To ensure the `NodeId`s are properly tracked in the lowered module, they need to be created in the AST, and pulled out as needed if multiple resolutions are available.
