bad intellisense info for `type` after import

[bmoyles]

I reported this as a part of #1377 originally but was asked to break this into a separate issue with a minimal repro.

Language server 0.3.41.0 from daily
VSCode 1.36.1
Python 3.7.3
OS Ubuntu 19.04

I started by removing ~/.cache/Microsoft/Python Language Server to ensure I had a clean slate. I also set python.analysis.logLevel to Trace and captured the output during this test.

I opened vscode with this simple Python file:

import builtins

a = type(type)

b = builtins.type(type)


class Foo(type):
    pass

With a clean cache and on a fresh open, intellisense returns type() for the type docstring/signature (I suppose the language server needs a python source file and does not look at help()), and peek/goto definition/declaration do not work (as expected):

Now I add a single import statement, import operator. I haven't tested further to see if this is specific to operator or triggers on any new import, but after adding that import statement, I saw a flurry of analysis output in the Python Output panel, and afterwards, intellisense returns information for http.client.Message (which subclasses email.message.Message) when hovering/peeking at type():

Hover:

Peek:

and here's the Python Output panel contents from the time I first opened vscode until I grabbed the screenshots after adding import operator
vscode-completion-python-output.txt

This problem also existed with language server 0.3.39.0 as well as 0.3.40.0.

Let me know if there's more info I can provide or more I can test.

Thanks for the detailed repro. We will investigate and get back to you.

I can't repro in 0.5.10, the code identifies builtin object, but since it is compiled, there is no peek and goto definition does nothing.
