Can't require package with globally existing classnames

[Leont]

The Problem

Given this Foo.rakumod:

unit package Foo;

class Version {
}

These will work:

• raku -e 'use Foo'
• raku -e 'need Foo'
• raku -e 'require ::("Foo")'

but this will not:

raku -e 'require Foo'

P6M Merging GLOBAL symbols failed: duplicate definition of symbol Version
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

My guess would be that this related to the placeholder package that require installs.

My hunch is this behavior is related to #2789 since it (the noted behavior/error) was not in the 2019.03.1 release but started for the 2019.07 release onward which corresponds with when that PR was merged

@tony-o did this get fixed?

@Leont forgot to push the fix. Will merge once spectest finishes
