'nosuchuser' message should (probably) not be used when blocking non-existant user

Description:
Currently when you try to block a non-existant user in Special:Blockip MediaWiki
will display the 'nosuchuser' message from Language.php.

Currently that message also reads "or use the form below to create a new user
account" which doesn't make sense on that page. I see three options:

  1. Adjust the 'badipaddress' message and use that one instead.
  2. Adjust the 'nosuchuser' message.
  3. Make new message.
