feat: add spell check feature to Roo Chat

- Add experimental spell check feature flag
- Implement spell check utility with basic dictionary
- Integrate spell check highlighting in ChatTextArea component
- Add CSS styles for red wavy underlines on misspelled words
- Add comprehensive tests for spell check functionality
- Add i18n translations for the feature

This feature helps users identify misspelled words in the chat interface
by highlighting them with red wavy underlines, similar to standard text
editors.
