Add support for spell check #828

Add support for a spell check on Lem, some suggestions:

Use https://github.com/tlikonen/cl-enchant to get the list of correct words, cl-enchant seems like a really nice library, it's public domain and full in CL (but it does wrap the enchant library.
Integrate the functionality on the programming modes detecting when the error is inside a comment/string (using lem:in-string-or-comment-p)

cl-enchant is pretty great, we use it in Nyxt.

How about support for private / personal dictionaries? Perhaps even project-level ones?

Another option would be using CFFI with Hunspell's C interface. I cannot find much code out that uses it directly, but it looks relatively straightforward.
