[m-rev.] For review: Bug fix for import statements in grade Java.

Bug fix for importing modules in the Java grade.

compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Output all import statements as comments.  This is necessary because
	they are currently being used incorrectly (eg to import classes in a
	flat file structure) and safe because we always use fully qualified
	names anyway.
