Replace editdistance by rapidfuzz #433

Description

@michaelromagne

Editdistance package is not maintained anymore, and has no wheels built for Python 3.13, leading to difficulties for some setupts to install the Textractor library (need to compile C++ library, bug happened on Macbook Pro M1).

The only place where editdistance is used is to compute Levenshtein distance, which can be done with rapidfuzz: https://github.com/rapidfuzz/RapidFuzz . This repo is maintained.

Thus, I propose to replace editdistance by rapidfuzz.
