Numba 0.49.0rc1 does not provide aliases for some use cases
<!--

Thanks for opening an issue! To help the Numba team handle your information
efficiently, please first ensure that there is no other issue present that
already describes the issue you have
(search at https://github.com/numba/numba/issues?&q=is%3Aissue).

For more general "how do I do X?" type questions, please speak to us in real
time on https://gitter.im/numba/numba or post to the Numba mailing list
https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!forum/numba-users.

## Reporting a bug

<!--

Before submitting a bug report please ensure that you can check off these boxes:

-->

- [x] I am using the latest released version of Numba (most recent is visible in
 the change log (https://github.com/numba/numba/blob/master/CHANGE_LOG).
- [x] I have included below a minimal working reproducer (if you are unsure how
 to write one see http://matthewrocklin.com/blog/work/2018/02/28/minimal-bug-reports).

<!--

Please include details of the bug here, including, if applicable, what you
expected to happen!

-->

When I use Numba 0.49.0rc1 I see many warnings like this:
```
Import of 'from_dtype' requested from: 'numba.numpy_support', please update to use 'numba.np.numpy_support' or pin to Numba version 0.48.0. This alias will not be present in Numba version 0.50.0.`
```
It is OK and aliases work fine for the most of my cases but does not work for some cases I have:
1. `from numba.targets import quicksort`
1. `from numba.special import literally` and `from numba.special import prange`
1. `from numba import postproc`
1. `import numba` and `numba.analysis.ir_extension_usedefs[Join] = join_usedefs`
1. `from numba import consts`
1. `import numba` and `lower_builtin('getiter', string_array_type)(numba.targets.arrayobj.getiter_array)`
1. `from numba.config import IS_32BITS`
1. `import numba` and `numba.datamodel.register_default(...)`

Please, give me note whether it is possible to be fixed before 0.49.0 release.
