[commands] Add UserInputError into the exception hierarchy.

This is for exceptions that are inherently based on user errors and not
permission based. e.g. passing incorrect number of arguments, too many
arguments, or an invalid argument. CommandNotFound is not classified
under this since it isn't inherently a user input error in all cases.

Some invalid commands can simply be due to an odd bot prefix. It would
also diminish the usefulness of the new parent class if CommandNotFound
was included.
