```
std: eliminate some uses of `usingnamespace`

This eliminates some simple usages of `usingnamespace` in the standard
library. This construct may in future be removed from the language, and
is generally an inappropriate way to formulate code. It is also
problematic for incremental compilation, which may not initially support
projects using it.

I wasn't entirely sure what the appropriate namespacing for the types in
`std.os.uefi.tables` would be, so I ofted to preserve the current
namespacing, meaning this is not a breaking change. It's possible some
of the moved types should instead be namespaced under `BootServices`
etc, but this can be a future enhancement.

```
