fix(resolution): Java/Kotlin imports disambiguate same-name classes (#314) (#472)

A Maven multi-module project where `dao/converter/FooConverter` and
`service/converter/FooConverter` both expose a `convert` method used to
resolve by file-path proximity — picking whichever class was closer to
the caller, which is wrong any time the caller lives in an equidistant
cross-cutting module. `extractImportMappings` had no Java branch at all,
so the FQN signal Java imports carry — `import
com.example.dao.converter.FooConverter;` — was thrown away.

- `extractJavaImports` parses regular and `import static` directives;
  wildcard imports (`*`) are intentionally skipped.
- `resolveViaImport` has a new Java/Kotlin cross-file branch that
  converts the imported FQN to a file-path suffix
  (`com/example/dao/converter/FooConverter.java`, or `.kt`) and
  resolves the symbol against the file whose path matches by suffix.
- For the field-receiver pattern (`@Autowired private FooConverter
  fooConverter; fooConverter.convert(...)`), `matchMethodCall` now
  looks up the receiver's inferred type in the caller file's imports
  and threads the resulting FQN through to `resolveMethodOnType`.
  When two `FooConverter::convert` candidates exist, the import — not
  iteration order — picks the right one.

Validated with a synthetic 3-module repro: swapping only the import
line on the caller swaps the resolved target between dao and service.

spring-petclinic (47 .java files): +15 newly import-resolved edges,
+2 references, no regression elsewhere.

Closes #314.
