Add fuzzy String matching logic to StringUtils
Fuzzy algorithms are quite common nowadays with editors such as Sublime
Text, TextMate, Atom and others implementing a fuzzy matching algorithm. This
PR adds a new string similarity algorithm to StringUtils which behaves very
similar to the ones used in the aforementioned editors.
An issue that needs to be mentioned is that this algorithm is not
documented in form of a paper to the best of my knowledge. For this reason
different variations of this algorithm may exist.
