Need team agreement on testing imports

[John Meinel]

If you troll through code reviews where this was brought up, William
proposed possibly using a common short name. So

import (
    gc "launchpad.net/gocheck"
    jc "launchpad.net/juju-core/testing/checkers"
)

That helps with the typing and stuttering, gives us namespaced imports, and
we can use it consistently across the codebase.

These imports will be use a lot, (50% of lines in test suites will have one
of them). To me it seems a reasonable compromise.

To be fair, I'm ok with import .  in the test suite (never in actual code)
given how much it is referenced. However I do like namespacing as it gives
an easier way to figure out where this symbol comes from.
