Add a module-prefixes field to rename all modules in a pkg (#6105)
* Add a module-prefixes field to rename all modules in a pkg

This PR adds a `module-prefixes` field to `daml.yaml` a a shorthand
for specifying a `--package` flag that renames all modules in a
package to have the same prefix.

The docs are updated to describe how you can use this field and there
is a test case that makes sure it works.

fixes #4948

changelog_begin

- [DAML Compiler] You can now use the new ``module-prefixes`` field in
  ``daml.yaml`` to add a prefix to all modules from a dependency. This
  is particularly useful for handling colliding module names during
  upgrades. See
  https://docs.daml.com/daml/reference/packages.html#handling-module-name-collisions
  for more information.
