Unsorted imports

Reports unsorted imports.

All Go programs should be formatted in the same way, the formatting rules are fixed by the gofmt tool. Those rules require imports to be sorted.

Example of a wrong sorting:

import (
 "net"
 "errors"
 "fmt"
)

You can apply the Sort imports quick-fix to fix the sorting. After the quick-fix is applied, the sorting looks as follows:

import (
 "errors"
 "fmt"
 "net"
)
