Changes the structure of the AST rewrite that is performed by the packager. Essentially, we remove all intermediate module declarations and replace them with fully-qualified casgns.

Motivation
--stripe-packages
mode currently works poorly when a package namespace also corresponds to a class in the actual codebase (as opposed to a module). Essentially, it breaks when a nested-package is imported by a parent package that is also a class. Therefore, we replace module declarations with fully qualified casgns -- that way we do not redeclare any modules.As a side effect, this change also leads to a ~12% memory improvement in type-checking the Stripe codebase.
Runtime changes perhaps not statistically significant.
