Support for package aliases in type overrides

What happened?

When adding a type override to sqlc.yaml, I'd like to be able to specify an alias for the package.

I'm trying to create a type override with a type from a generated package. The package name differs from its directory name, so the generated sqlc code can’t resolve the import. Is it possible for me to specify the correct package alias when declaring the override?

For example:

  - column: "schema.table.column"
    go_type:
      import: "path/to/package"
      alias: "package2"
      type: "GeneratedColumnType"

would generate the .sql.go import:
package2 "path/to/package"

I thought this was supported, and it turns out it is! You can use the package key to generate the alias name.

  - column: "schema.table.column"
    go_type:
      import: "path/to/package"
      package: "package2"
      type: "GeneratedColumnType"

go_type isn't documented right now, so I'll make sure to update the docs before closing this issue.

Here's an example in the playground.
