no-unused-vars should understand imported type usage

[Snugug]

What version of TypeScript are you using?
2.9.1

What version of typescript-eslint-parser are you using?
16.0.0

What code were you trying to parse?

import { Application } from 'express';

app().then((server:Application) => {

});

What did you expect to happen?
With rule no-unused-vars, I expect Application to come back as being used as it's being imported and used as a type

What happened?
1:10 error 'Application' is defined but never used no-unused-vars

This issue duplicates #457 that is closed because this problem is not a parsing but a rule issue.

To make it work i suggest using https://github.com/bradzacher/eslint-plugin-typescript/blob/master/docs/rules/no-unused-vars.md

Using the plugin probably makes the most sense here, ESLint will not be able to understand many TS specific concerns natively.

Please feel free to open any other issues on the new project https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint

Thanks!
