Visualize the result of column name standardization as a table #120

Description

@raar1

An important functionality of the package is to validate, standardize or otherwise "clean up" the input data (most often from spreadsheets). For example, identifying recognised column names for contaminants etc. and then optionally modifying/standardizing names or throwing an "unrecognised" error.

I think it would be very useful for an end user to be able to visualize what has happened in this process.

I am imagining a table (e.g. function returns a pandas dataframe that gets rendered in the notebook) that has a form like the following:

Input name Changed to Status
sample sample_nr Non-standard
obs_well Standard
Depth depth Non-standard
CH4 methane Non-standard
nonexistylene Unrecognized
benzene Standard
naphthalene Standard
blablabla Unrecognized

I think this would help the user see at-a-glance what has been modified or not recognized and should help avoid mistakes or unintended behaviour.
