Let auto-import respect already-imported package aliases

[windymelt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If we have import alias like this:

import verylong.pkg.so.we.treat.it as it

And supposing that verylong.pkg.so.we.treat.it has foo member.

Then we use auto-completion like this:

foo<TAB>

Thus Metals automatically imports foo:

import verylong.pkg.so.we.treat.it as it
import verylong.pkg.so.we.treat.it.foo

Describe the solution you'd like

Auto-import should respect import alias it.

So I want lines like this:

import verylong.pkg.so.we.treat.it as it
import it.foo

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have no alternatives. I'm removing redundant part every time.

Thanks for reporting! This rather looks like a bug, I will move it to the main repo
