"Enhance manage.py CLI: Suggest alternatives for unknown commands (typo correction)"

[Rishav]

When using manage.py, if a user enters an incorrect or misspelled command, Django currently does not provide suggestions for the correct command. This can lead to frustration, especially for developers who may make typographical errors or are unsure of the exact command name.

Proposed Solution: Enhance the manage.py command-line interface to automatically suggest possible alternatives for unknown commands. The suggestion should be based on a comparison between the user’s input and the available commands using Python’s built-in difflib.get_close_matches() function. This will help users by displaying a helpful message indicating potential command suggestions.

### Examples:

1. Input: python manage.py runsever Expected Output: ` Unknown command: 'runsever'. Did you mean 'runserver'? `

2. Input: python manage.py makemgrations Expected Output: ` Unknown command: 'makemgrations'. Did you mean 'makemigrations' or 'migrate'? `

3. Input: python manage.py foo Expected Output: ` Unknown command: 'foo'. No similar commands found. `

4. Input: python manage.py runserver Expected Output: ` Running server as expected (no suggestion needed). `

Re-enabling the UI/UX flag since this feature directly impacts the developer experience when interacting with the CLI. While it's not a graphical interface, improving how Django handles mistyped commands (by suggesting close matches) significantly enhances usability and reduces friction for users, especially beginners. Happy to clarify further if needed!Replying to Clifford Gama:
