Disable browsers' (native) spell checker in CKEditor

Drupal 8 should either allow you to toggle on/off the CKEditor spell check or just leverage the browsers built in one.

I think this should be pretty straight forward.

There is this plugin for CKEditor 4 we could use http://ckeditor.com/addon/scayt

I think the browser's spell check can be disabled with just
config.disableNativeSpellChecker = true;

That would probably be the easiest.

But right now in D8 you can type in all kinds of garbage and there are no indications that you're spelling something wrong.

Note, this is an accessibility problem as assistive technology devices like screen readers don't do all so well with mis-spelled words.
