Description

When trying to modify an existing global block with the option "Also block this IP address locally" selected, a failure message is received "Blocking the IP address locally failed as the given IP address already is blocked on this wiki.". Sometimes you want to modify the block conditions (anon-only, length etc.) and you can really only modify blocks if you've already seen the existing conditions.

This will be fixed with the patch for T296780, as that was already the default option for the API, and I added it to Special:GlobalBlock too, to keep things consistent and in accordance to what is actually wanted.

Fixed per above
