linter "did you mean..." #813

Open CJ-Wright opened 6 years ago

For some of the lints it would be helpful if the linter suggested the valid name. Eg. for unexpected subsection name we could use a spell check algorithm to find the most likely spelling candidate (eg patch -> patches).

Basic idea If https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/blob/master/conda_smithy/lint_recipe.py#L264 calculate the distance between the bad subsection and the expected subsections maybe using https://github.com/conda-forge/python-levenshtein-feedstock and if it is less than a threshold add a bit to the error asking if they meant one of the expected subsections.
