Message:

Login and Registration: Improve "email already exists" registration error message.

Adds the wp_login_url() login link to the Error message to be more helpful to users when their user email already is registered.

Improves the error message to more clearly communicate next step.

Follow-up to [16009], [22124], [31963].

Props andynick, costdev, dansoschin, sabernhardt, webcommsat.
Fixes #53631.
