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

[Matthew Vernon]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

The error message if you try and create an S3 user with an email address
that is already associated with another S3 account is very confusing.

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

I've reported this upstream as https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/49137 and
will send a patch against master there in due course, but that won't get
backported to Luminous.

I attach a patch that improves the error message thus:
radosgw-admin user create --uid=test --display-name="AN test" --email=bar at domain.invalid
could not create user: unable to create user test because user id foo already exists with email bar at domain.invalid

Could this be applied to the luminous Ceph packages you ship please?

Thanks,

Matthew
