e529cd4ffa Suggest to the user the column they may have meant to reference.
Error messages informing the user that no such column exists can
sometimes provoke a perplexed response.  This often happens due to
a subtle typo in the column name or, perhaps less likely, in the
alias name.  To speed discovery of what the real issue is in such
cases, we'll now search the range table for approximate matches.
If there are one or two such matches that are good enough to think
that they might be what the user intended to type, and better than
all other approximate matches, we'll issue a hint suggesting that
the user might have intended to reference those columns.

c0828b78e9 Move the guts of our Levenshtein implementation into core.
The hope is that we can use this to produce better diagnostics in
some cases.

Peter Geoghegan, reviewed by Michael Paquier, with some further
changes by me.
