Summary: false RedundantImport for java.lang.*

Initial Comment:
An import of a class which belongs to the java.lang package is not redundant if 
there exists a class with the same name, in the same package as the importing 
class.  For example:


------------------------

package com.mine;

public class Math {
  // ...
}

------------------------

package com.mine;

import java.lang.Math;

public class A {
  // ...
}

------------------------

In the above case, class A needs to use class java.lang.Math, and uses an 
import.  Checkstyle reports a redundant import of java.lang.Math, but the 
import is required because otherwise the Math class in the same package is 
visible instead.
