Sebastiaan van Stijn dfde579243 Fix false positives for G404 with aliased packages
It appears that `GetImportedName` returns _both_ aliased and non-aliased imports.
As a result, a file having both crypto/rand and math/rand (but aliased) would
trigger false positives on G404. Given the following file;

```go
package main

import (
	"crypto/rand"
	"math/big"
	rnd "math/rand"
)

func main() {
	_, _ = rand.Int(rand.Reader, big.NewInt(int64(2)))
	_ = rnd.Intn(2)
}
```

And patching for debugging;

```patch
diff --git a/helpers.go b/helpers.go
index 437d032..80f4233 100644
--- a/helpers.go
+++ b/helpers.go
@@ -250,6 +250,8 @@ func GetBinaryExprOperands(be *ast.BinaryExpr) []ast.Node {
 // GetImportedName returns the name used for the package within the
 // code. It will ignore initialization only imports.
 func GetImportedName(path string, ctx *Context) (string, bool) {
+       fmt.Printf("%+v", ctx.Imports.Imported)
+       os.Exit(1)
        importName, imported := ctx.Imports.Imported[path]
        if !imported {
                return "", false
```

Would show that `math/rand` was included in the list, using it's non-aliased
name (`:rand`).

    gosec -quiet .
    map[crypto/rand:rand math/big:big math/rand:rand]

This patch works around this problem by reversing the order in which imports
are resolved in `MatchCallByPackage()`. Aliased packages are tried first, after
which non-aliased imports are tried.

Given the example application mentioned above:

Before this patch:

```bash
gosec -quiet .
Results:

[/Users/sebastiaan/Projects/test/gosec-issue/main.go:10] - G404 (CWE-338): Use of weak random number generator (math/rand instead of crypto/rand) (Confidence: MEDIUM, Severity: HIGH)
    9: func main() {
  > 10: 	_, _ = rand.Int(rand.Reader, big.NewInt(int64(2)))
    11: 	_ = rnd.Intn(2)
```

With this patch applied:

```bash
    gosec --quiet .
    Results:

    [/Users/sebastiaan/Projects/test/gosec-issue/main.go:11] - G404 (CWE-338): Use of weak random number generator (math/rand instead of crypto/rand) (Confidence: MEDIUM, Severity: HIGH)
        10: 	_, _ = rand.Int(rand.Reader, big.NewInt(int64(2)))
      > 11: 	_ = rnd.Intn(2)
        12: }
```
