When Levenshtein-based suggestions find no match for an AttributeError
on list, str, or dict, check a static table of common method names from
JavaScript, Java, C#, and Ruby.
For example, [].push() now suggests .append(), "".toUpperCase() suggests
.upper(), and {}.keySet() suggests .keys().
The list.add() case suggests using a set instead of suggesting .append(),
since .add() is a set method and the user may have passed a list where
a set was expected (per discussion with Serhiy Storchaka, Terry Reedy,
and Paul Moore).
Design: flat (type, attr) -> suggestion text table, no runtime
introspection. Only exact builtin types are matched to avoid false
positives on subclasses.
