[Bug 1404432] [NEW] Descriptive error message when Create User fails

 

Public bug reported:

Currently, when we try to create a new user with an existing User Name,
the process fails and displays an error message "Error: Unable to create
user.". This error message is insufficient to inform the user about what
exactly went wrong ( same User Name). Since we allow users with same
email address to exist but not the same User Name, the error message
should be specific to the problem "Error: User name xyz is already used"
so that the user knows that its the same User Name thats causing the
error and he needs to change the User Name and not worry about changing
other fields in the new user creation form.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Create new user with User Name "xyz"  (Success)
2. Create another user with User Name "xyz1" (Error: Unable to create user")
