Description
Currently we handle errors in `on_command_error` event listener, moving this to cog base (or more likely to `CogCommandMixin` as not all commands are necessarily attached to a cog) would make it easier to override the error handling safely while retaining the behavior for people not overriding it.
Original issue: #3133
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the on_command_error event listener and reviewing CogCommandMixin, then compare the intended change with original issue #3133. Done means error handling is moved to the cog base or mixin, remains available for commands without cogs, preserves existing behavior, and can be safely overridden.
