Fix common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking
misspelled words in source code, but it can be used with other files as well.
It is not a general spell checker.

Derp. Talk about circular dependency. Using Codespell to check readme of repo finds spelling error, which only exists to show example of spelling error. Not sure if I should fix this.

Well at least we know it's working @tir38 ! Joking apart we could either ignore the line or add the specific typo to an allowed list (although if we do the latter it would be better if it was a more obscure word/less likely typo, but perhaps that defeats the point of the example; abandonned is our goto typo, but it's not as obvious as the example one).

@larsoner Travis didn't catch this as it's only checking the module source stuff, not the surrounding files:
codespell --skip="codespell_lib/tests/test_basic.py,codespell_lib/data/*" codespell_lib/
