Description

After #76 we will still have a bit more namespace work to do. The final output structure should be correct, but within our internal `cxxbridge` mod we'll still have a flat structure. That means we won't allow input where there are identically-named symbols in different namespaces.

To finally fix that, we need to do the `mod` parts of https://github.com/dtolnay/cxx/issues/353 and then reflect in autocxx.

Research direction

Start by reading the `mod` portions of issue #353 and the namespace changes from #76. Trace how autocxx generates its internal `cxxbridge` module and verify that nested namespaces are represented there, including identically named symbols from different namespaces. Done means the internal structure is hierarchical and the requested namespace inputs are accepted.
