Enrich `CraftErrors` with resolutions and documentation links
Metadata
Current evaluation
CraftError metadata is supported and used in several paths, but the audit remains incomplete: multiple Snapcraft errors still lack details, resolutions, or documentation links.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The enhancement is maintainer-authored and labeled Triaged, and current code shows partial adoption of resolution, details, and docs_url fields. However, errors such as PluginsCommand's unsupported-base message still contain only a message, and several ExtensionError paths omit useful metadata; no single resolving commit or PR was identified.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Enrich existing [`CraftErrors`](https://canonical-craft-cli.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/craft_cli.errors/#craft_cli.errors.CraftError) with `details`, `resolution`, `docs_url`, etc.
### Why it needs to get done
For a better UX when errors are raised.
This is a one-time task to improve existing `CraftErrors`. In the future, new `CraftErrors` should define as many error fields as possible.
