[issue41255] Argparse.parse_args exits on unrecognized option with exit_on_error=False

In

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69108632/unable-to-catch-exception-error-for-argparse

we found that `exit_on_error` does not work when the error occurs in a subparser.

Unless someone wants to take time to get this right, I think this feature should be removed.  It's too buggy.
