This PR automatically adds a label to a shopping list item if it isn't provided. We already did similar work for this a while ago for the ingredient parser, so I extracted that into its own service and used it here.
We don't want to autocorrect the user's input (since we could be wrong), so we only use the result to choose the label, rather than assign the food. See below, where I spell "oranges" wrong; the proper label is assigned, but the word is still as-written:
This only works on item creation, so if a user decides "nah I don't want a label on this" and removes it, it stays removed. In general I don't know why you wouldn't want to try to apply a label to an item, hence the PR. This is similar to other shopping lists which auto-categorize your items (e.g. the Alexa shopping list does this).

I've actually been using this logic for a year or so now as a part of my Unified Shopping List. I've been meaning to get it into Mealie. Now that Amazon is killing all shopping list integrations for Alexa, I felt now was a good time to get this in here.
Testing

Added tests for the new feature and manually tested the parser to make sure I didn't break anything with the refactor.
