 The WordPress Lost Your Password form (/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword)
 accepts a username or an email address.

 If you enter an incorrect email address, the following message will
 display: "ERROR: There is no user registered with that email address."

 If you enter an incorrect username, the following message will display:
 "ERROR: Invalid username or e-mail."

 This can produce confusing error messages. Additionally, using "e-mail"
 and "email" in the two error messages is not consistent.

 For example, here are values entered and the resulting error message:

 abcde -> ERROR: Invalid username or e-mail.
 abcd@ -> ERROR: There is no user registered with that email address.

 This small patch standardizes the message to:
 "ERROR: There are no user accounts using that username or e-mail address.
 Please try again."

 Additionally, wp-login.php had 8 messages using "e-mail" and 4 messages
 using "email" so they have been updated to "e-mail" (as that was the more
 common of the two).
