Subject: [PATCH -v2 4/7] module: Add module specific symbol namespace support

Designate the "MODULE_${modname}" symbol namespace to mean: 'only
export to the named module'.

Notably, explicit imports of anything in the "MODULE_" space is
forbidden. Modules implicitly get the "MODULE_${modname}" namespace
added.
