Comment:

 In [changeset:"46417" 46417]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="46417"
 Accessibility: Login and Registration: Improve the invalid username and
 invalid email messages.

 - explicitly informs users they can use their email to log in as an
 alternative to their username and vice-versa
 - shows the `Lost your password?` link only when an wrong password has
 been entered
 - uses a more appropriate copy by changing "invalid" to "unknown"
 - removes the all caps `ERROR`

 Fixes #43037.
