Description
Perhaps best addressed by reworking how this works, but regardless it's be nice for our parsing of these options to produce the same sort of "did you mean" Levenshtein distance suggestions.

Research direction
Start by locating firtool's parsing of lowering options and the diagnostics produced for unrecognized values. Identify how close matches should be selected and add focused coverage for misspelled options, then verify that the resulting diagnostics provide useful "did you mean" suggestions. Done means close-but-not-quite-right lowering options receive Levenshtein-based suggestions.
