Describe the bug

Using autocomplete to create a stub definition of a func within a struct, the aliased package names for the dependent types aren't preserved. Instead, the non-aliased package names are used.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Clone https://github.com/jhendrixMSFT/autocompleterepro
On line 12, note that the package names for resp and errResp are incorrect. They should be azfake but are fake.
To repro, just delete line 12 then recreate it, using the autocomplete prompt to create the stub definition for Get.

Thank you very much for the issue, and for the repro. Aliases are notoriously problematic in tools/gopls (primarily because they are not represented properly in go/types). With that said, we have various workarounds, and should apply them here.

Transferring to the gopls issue tracker.

[findleyr]

Milestoning this for gopls@v0.15.0 because I think the situation with aliases may be improved in go/types as part of Go 1.22. We'll no more by gopls@v0.15.0.
