[Bug 1914584] Re: [SRU] radosgw-admin user create error message confusing if user with email already exists

[Steve Langasek]

As a member of the SRU team I disagree with Dan on this, I don't think
it's incorrect to reuse the same bug (with history) for iterations of an
SRU for the same issue.

However, it IS incorrect to mark a bug 'fix released' when there has
been no corresponding upload to the target archive/series.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When creating a new S3 user, the error message is confusing if the
  email address used is already associated with another S3 account.

  To reproduce:

  radosgw-admin user create --uid=foo --display-name="Foo test" --email=bar at domain.invalid
  #[ success ]
  radosgw-admin user create --uid=test --display-name="AN test" --email=bar at domain.invalid
  could not create user: unable to parse parameters, user id mismatch, operation id: foo does not match: test

  As a result, it's completely unclear what went wrong with the user
  creation.

  [Test case]

  Create an S3 account via radosgw-admin. Then create another user but use
  the same email address - it should provide a clear description of what
  the problem is.

  [Where problems could occur]

  The new message may yet be unclear or could complain that an email
  exists even though it doesn't exist (false positive). It's an improved
  diagnostic by checking if the email id exists. Perhaps, user creation
  might become problematic if the fix doesn't work.

  - Upstream tracker: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/49137
  - Upstream PR: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/39293
  - Backported to Pacific, Octopus, and Nautilus upstream releases. Luminous is EOL'ed upstream, so we'd like to backport to Luminous (Bionic/queens).
