Add --matching-algorithm option.
This replaces the --fuzzy-match algorithm. Available choices are normal,
prefix and fuzzy. Levenshtein distance was investigated, but it seems
pretty rubbish for tofi's use case, where you normally want a good match when
you've only typed a small portion of the target string.
