Description

Django Evolution's modern JSON-based serializer gained support for
RENAMED_FIELD_TYPES, which allowed codebases to map legacy field
classes to new ones. However, the legacy pickle-based deserializer
didn't have this capability, meaning that older codebases would still
fail to find renamed modules.

This change adds support for RENAMED_FIELD_TYPES in the legacy
unpickler. This unpickler already hard-codes support for some legacy
types, making this pretty straightforward.

Testing Done

Tested an upgrade with the legacy unpickler referencing a module we
wanted to rename. Verified the upgrade worked successfully.

Nvm, realizing this is because the first import is shallower. Disregard this.

We actually do it completely lexigraphically, so your comment was right.
