Currently checkpatch warns for BAD_SIGN_OFF on non-standard signature
styles.

A large number of these warnings occur because of typo mistakes in
signoffs.
An evaluation over v4.13..v5.8 revealed that out of 539 warnings due to
Non-standard signatures, 85 are due to typo mistakes.

Eg. running checkpatch on commit da785a87787c ("ARM: bcm2835: Fix
integer overflow in rpi_firmware_print_firmware_revision()") reports
this warning:

WARNING:Non-standard signature: Revieved-by:
Revieved-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>

Here the signoff 'Reviewed-by' is misspelt.

Provide a fix by calculating levenshtein distance for the signoff over
all the standard signatures and suggest a fix if the distance for any
signature is less than or equal to 2.

Yes, correct. Others are the cases which required discussion like:
"Originally-by" and its variants (including 'Based-on-patch-by', etc),
"Bisected-by", "Diagnosed-by", "Root-caused-by".
