When reading the code, it was hard to figure out if the given name was imported or a local class. And the renaming of imports also made it harder to look things up online. Arguably, the deeply nested import structure and inconsistent naming in elftools is partially to blame: there is just no good way to make this look nice. But anyway, let's use the usual style of importing the module and using names prefixed with the module path so that the origin of imported names is clear. elfutils.elf.elffile is importered separately, because a) it needs to be imported separately anyway bxecause the module does lazy imports internally, a) the name already indicates the origin, c) is used in quite a few places so the shorter name is nice.
