DWARF Typedefs Handled Confusingly

[edmcman]

Describe the bug
C allows typedefs such as typedef struct foo * foo; because struct foo and foo are not the same type. When Ghidra imports such a typedef, it results in this non-sensical type: typedef list list *

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Load attached executable
2. Look at list in data type manager

Expected behavior
I expected the typedefee to have a different name, maybe struct list.

I can see how it could improve things. This won't be a high priority, but I'll talk it over with the team.

If you provide some guidance on where/how to change the behavior, I can also take a stab at it.
