Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, if a user makes a typo in a column or table name, DataFusion returns a strict "Not Found" error.
**Example:**
Given a table `users` with columns `["username", "email"]`:
```sql
SELECT usernme FROM users;
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing DataFusion's unknown-column and unknown-table error paths from the reported SQL example. The issue names no files, tests, matching algorithm, or acceptance criteria; done would require agreed fuzzy suggestions for both names and corresponding tests that verify the suggested wording.
