Add spell checking with codespell as a GitHub Action

`codespell` works with a small custom dictionary and seems to find perhaps more spelling mistakes than `misspell` which really only fixes commonly misspelled English words.

Not all spell checkers can check all file types and most spell checkers can't find all the errors.
