dispatch: offer near-edit-distance suggestions for {file,rev}set functions

Before this patch, when I have a brain fart and type `hg log -r
'add(foo)'`, hg exits and just says add isn't a function, leading me
to the help page for revset to figure out how to spell the
function. With this patch, it suggests 'adds' as a function I might
have meant.
