Description
First: I'll note that most of the built in commands as phrased in #17043 do not (yet) return errors, and I think updating everything is out of scope for this PR.
That being said, multiple paths have been laid for built-in commands to return handled errors.
The first path: all built-in commands are now exported as functions in the `command` and `entity_command` modules. If any of them were rephrased to return an error, then this would immediately be possible:
```rust
entity.queue_fallible(insert(Team::Blue).handle_error_with(warn()));
```
The more common case of using the built-in shorthand functions would use the default global error handler, which defaults to panicking but can be configured:
```rust
entity.insert(Team::Blue);
```
