Type aliases points to the underlying type not the root one, this cause issues where the autogenerated go package does not build if it links to internal packages. #348

Description

@Jorropo

I have code like this:

.
├── a.go
├── b
│   ├── b.go
│   └── internal
│       └── internal.go
└── go.mod
// a.go
package a

import "a/b"

type A = b.B
// b.go
package b

import "a/b/internal"

type B = internal.I
// internal.go
package internal

import "strconv"

type I uint

func (i I) String() string { return strconv.FormatUint(uint64(i), 10) }

gopy pkg a then creates a folder a/a and tries to import a/b/internal which does not work because it's not allowed to import an internal package.

My real world usecase is some existing librairy with type alias chains going through multiple modules.

I think this could be solved with the GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 https://pkg.go.dev/go/types#Alias but I'm not familiar with the gopy codebase.
