Maintained version of misspell

[girlpunk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Misspell was previously removed as the original version, by client9, is not maintained. However, misspell provides a significantly better spelling check for code (such as variable names, etc) than any other linter offered by megalinter.

Describe the solution you'd like
Golang are maintaining a fork of misspell at golangci/misspell. As such, I would like to suggest re-introducing misspell but from this fork rather than the original.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
None

Still outstanding

@girlpunk the repo is still a fork, usually a hard-fork cuts links with the origin repo and announces it, do you think it would be possible that golang do that ?

[girlpunk]

I'm not sure unfortunately, beyond making use of it I don't have any relation with the fork.

[nvuillam]

@girlpunk if you post an issue there they might confirm what I need ? :)
As MegaLinter is heavily used by bigger companies, and can't natively add a fork with 6 stars that is not officially maintained, so the alternative would be to build a MegaLinter plugin (by just resurrecting the previous content of MegaLinter internal descriptor )

[girlpunk]

Looks like they do intend to

golangci/misspell#4 (comment)

Hello,

As you are using golangci-lint you are using already using our fork of misspell 😄

Hard forks are rare (at least on GitHub), we don't need to do that and it's weird regarding the original author.
Also being a "soft" fork allow users who are looking for a maintained fork to show our fork.

@ldez thanks for the precision :)

You might add in the README that you maintain this fork as the original repo is abandonware, so next person who wants to use it will already know ^^

Ps: cocorico 🐓

@girlpunk misspell is so eligible to be back within MegaLinter, would you like to make the PR ? :)
