refactor: Use QualifiedName for Imported::call_path (#10214)

## Summary

When you try to remove an internal representation leaking into another
type and end up rewriting a simple version of `smallvec`.

The goal of this PR is to replace the `Box<[&'a str]>` with
`Box<QualifiedName>` to avoid that the internal `QualifiedName`
representation leaks (and it gives us a nicer API too). However, doing
this when `QualifiedName` uses `SmallVec` internally gives us all sort
of funny lifetime errors. I was lost but @BurntSushi came to rescue me.
He figured out that `smallvec` has a variance problem which is already
tracked in https://github.com/servo/rust-smallvec/issues/146

To fix the variants problem, I could use the smallvec-2-alpha-4 or
implement our own smallvec. I went with implementing our own small vec
for this specific problem. It obviously isn't as sophisticated as
smallvec (only uses safe code), e.g. it doesn't perform any size
optimizations, but it does its job.

Other changes:

* Removed `Imported::qualified_name` (the version that returns a
`String`). This can be replaced by calling `ToString` on the qualified
name.
* Renamed `Imported::call_path` to `qualified_name` and changed its
return type to `&QualifiedName`.
* Renamed `QualifiedName::imported` to `user_defined` which is the more
common term when talking about builtins vs the rest/user defined
functions.
