Expand the Devise unconfirmed message
What does this MR do?
Previously when a user with an un-confirmed email address attempted to sign in, a very brief error message was returned: "You have to confirm your email address before continuing." This did not explain what users should do to fix the problem, and left some users baffled. This MR expands the text to explain what the user should do next, and also what to do if that doesn't work: "You have to confirm your email address before continuing. Please check your email for the link we sent you, or click 'Forgot your password' to send a new email."
Note: The "Resend confirmation email" link only appears if unconfirmed_email? after an attempted sign-in.
