Wp-calypso: Signup: no option to log in with existing username for non-EN users

Issue Description

During signup process, if a user enters an already existing username, the English version shows this error message:
Sorry, that username already exists! If this is you log in now.

For non-English, a partial error message is shown: only the translated version of Sorry, that username already exists! (no option to log in for existing users).

Confirmed the issue in DE, FR, ID, NL, RU locales. Likely a global issue for all non-EN locales.

Browser / OS version

Google Chrome 48.0.2564.109 (64-bit)
OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

Confirmed this is still broken, testing the signup flow in Spanish:

Missing the link and text.

This requires an API change, tracked on D1793-code. It should work automagically after the fix is released.

The change is live and the issue should not be occurring anymore. @lancewillett Can you verify that?

Confirmed worked as expected! Nice.
