Issue description:

Consider:

import "myheader.h";

https://wg21.link/module.import describes the phase 7 treatment following the transformation specified by https://wg21.link/cpp.import#4. The grammar for module-import-declaration contains a use of the header-name non-terminal, but header-name‌s are not token‌s (https://wg21.link/lex.token). This means that the conversion from a preprocessing token to a token (https://wg21.link/lex.phases) runs afoul of https://wg21.link/lex.pptoken#2.

Suggested resolution:

Add header-name as an alternative for the token non-terminal, and update [lex.pptoken] paragraph 2 to allow header names.
