## 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.
## Test plan
`cargo test`
## Summary
Charlie can probably explain this better than I but it turns out,
`CallPath` is used for two different things:
* To represent unqualified names like `version` where `version` can be a
local variable or imported (e.g. `from sys import version` where the
full qualified name is `sys.version`)
* To represent resolved, full qualified names
This PR splits `CallPath` into two types to make this destinction clear.
> Note: I haven't renamed all `call_path` variables to `qualified_name`
or `unqualified_name`. I can do that if that's welcomed but I first want
to get feedback on the approach and naming overall.
