Add Suggestions for Misspelled Keywords

This PR detects misspelled keywords using two heuristics:

1. Lowercasing the unexpected identifier.
2. Using edit distance to find a keyword similar to the unexpected identifier.

However, it does not detect each and every misspelled keyword to
minimize false positives and ambiguities. More details about the
implementation can be found in the comments.
