Add a spellchecker

[villfa]

Hi,

What do you think about adding a spellchecker to the CI?

I don't have any experience with these tools in this particular context yet, but TypoCI/spellcheck-action was pretty easy to set up.

I also got inspiration from the php/doc-ru spellcheck workflow.

This looks like a good idea to me, I'll try to have a look at what the failures are.

Might prevent me from introducing loads of grammar mistakes, Which is always a positive.

Seems that we need to add --trace to possibly see which files are affected?

I don't think it's feasible just by changing the yaml configuration.

The error message gives this link: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/checks#create-a-check-run
This part could explain the problem:

Creates a new check run for a specific commit in a repository. Your GitHub App must have the checks:write permission to create check runs.

I may be wrong but I think it is a permission issue.
That could also explain why I don't have this error with my fork : villfa#3

TypoCI is being shut down, as explained by its author here: https://mikerogers.io/2021/05/23/saying-goodbye-to-typo-ci

Also, there are other alternatives that don't require installing a Github App (thus will be easier to add confidently).

Oh, do you know of any and maybe could propose a PR?

There are a few alternatives on Github Actions marketplace, like this one https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-spellcheck-action

Regarding CLI tools, hunspell or aspell could do the trick. In particular, it's easy to get a French dictonnary for those.

In both cases, I'm not sure if the action will add annotations to the source code file. Manual handling might be required for those, see https://github.com/Attest/annotations-action for an example.

Update: I may have spoken a bit too fast on this, it seems only the Github App was discontinued. TypoCI/spellcheck-action#129
