Title:  [SPARK-3873] [build] Add style checker to enforce import ordering. 

The checker tries to follow as closely as possible the guidelines of
the code style document, and makes some decisions where the guide is
not clear. In particular:

- wildcard imports come first when there are other imports in the
same package
- multi-import blocks come before single imports
- lower-case names inside multi-import blocks come before others

In some projects, such as graphx, there seems to be a convention to
separate o.a.s imports from the project's own; to simplify the
checker, I chose not to allow that, which is a strict interpretation
of the code style guide, even though I think it makes sense.
