Convert relative imports to absolute imports

[tmikuska]

Replace all relative imports (from . / from ..) with absolute imports (from virl2_client.) across the non-test codebase for consistency.

let me know what you think

not sure what tools suggest this over relative imports. relative imports are a feature, i.e. not having to use the project name everywhere, and make moving packages easier, while also showing that the import is local. so, I find this unnecessary, though I also do not object against changing it.

In the main code base, this is more of an exception in pkgtool and tests, but here relative imports represent 1/3 of imports. I just wanted to hear everyone's opinion before making any change. I prefer absolute imports over relative ones, but I have no strong feelings and the main reason why I raised this this way is the majority of imports are still absolute.

I agree with @virlos , relative imports have their place and there's no reason to enforce consistency on this front.

It might make sense to remove certain relative imports especially the ".."-ones, but not all... also, there's a good chance the "virl2_client" will become "cml2_client" or something, you know where I am going with this
