levenshtein automaton

This package makes it fast and simple to build a finite determinic automaton that computes the levenshtein distance from a given string.

Sample usage:

// build a re-usable builder
lb := NewLevenshteinAutomatonBuilder(2, false)

origTerm := "couchbasefts"
dfa := lb.BuildDfa("couchbases", 2)
ed := dfa.eval([]byte(origTerm))
if ed.distance() != 2 {
	log.Errorf("expected distance 2, actual: %d", ed.distance())
}

This implementation is inspired by blog post and is intended to be a port of original rust implementation: https://github.com/tantivy-search/levenshtein-automata
