⚡️ Speed up method ImportAnalyzer.visit_ImportFrom by 31% in PR #310 (test-filter-cleanup)

Here is an optimized version of your program. The main improvements are.

- Replace growing of `imported_modules` and `wildcard_modules` with faster local variables and reduced set insertion calls (avoid unnecessary growth).
- Check `self.found_any_target_function` immediately after mutating it, to avoid executing unnecessary lines.
- Use **early exits** aggressively (via return or break) to reduce the number of instructions and comparisons per `visit_ImportFrom`.
- Cache attributes/locals where appropriate to reduce attribute lookup cost inside loops.
- Use tuple membership check for dynamic import detection to avoid repeated string comparisons.
- Reduce the number of repeated dictionary lookups for `alias.name` and `alias.asname`.



**Summary of optimizations:**
- Minimize attribute lookups in tight loop (`target_functions`, `imported_modules`, `wildcard_modules` as locals).
- Use `continue` instead of `else` for `*` import check for clearer fast path.
- Avoid extra qualified name computation if already found.
- Remove comments only if the corresponding lines were changed for clarity.  
- Fully preserve functional behavior and interface. 

This will give a measurable speedup especially for large numbers of imports and in large ASTs.
