Suggest public re-exports when a private module makes an import path inaccessible
This is an attempt at solving rust-lang/rust#13065.
When a `use` path fails because it passes through a private module (E0603), and a public re-export of the target item exists elsewhere, the compiler will now suggest importing through that re-export instead.
For example, given:
```rust
mod outer {
pub use self::inner::MyStruct;
mod inner {
pub struct MyStruct;
}
}
use outer::inner::MyStruct; // error: module `inner` is private
```
the compiler will now suggest use `outer::MyStruct`; - the publicly accessible path - rather than just pointing at the private module definition and leaving the user to figure out the alternative.
When possible, relative paths are suggested, including those using `super` (currently capped at a maximum of one `super` path item).
The newly added test is parametrised by editions because of the change in behaviour around `crate::`-prefixed imports in edition 2018. Perhaps that’s an overkill – I’ll be happy to remove the variations for editions 2021 and 2024.
