ep7 duckdb: Add Damerau-Levenshtein string comparison function

A flashy new open-source database and it's relationship to academic papers from the 60s and 70s

I genuinely love seeing 50+ year old academic papers being used in modern projects - and there is certainly no shortage of occurrences like these.

This episode of Commit History covers functionality in the DuckDB project - specifically the levenshtein and damerau_levenshtein string similarity functions. We dive into their past, their differences, and how they can be used.
