Emit unused-import instead of unused-variable when dealing with unused imports
When pylint encounters unused imports in scopes (e.g. functions),
it used to emit `unused-variable`. This is somewhat confusing, as those
names are not necessarily variables, so instead let's emit the more
obvious `unused-import`.
Close #2421
