Also display some suggestions for invalid formal arguments

Browse source 
```console
$ nix eval --expr '({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }'
error: anonymous function at (string):1:2 called with unexpected argument 'fob'

       at «string»:1:1:

            1| ({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }
             | ^
       Did you mean foo?
```

Not that because Nix will first check for _missing_ arguments before
checking for extra arguments, `({ foo }: foo) { fob = 1; }` will
complain about the missing `foo` argument (rather than extra `fob`) and
so won’t display a suggestion.
