What does this MR do and why?

Clarify 'GitLab' term in signup error message

When allow_single_sign_on option is true, new users can't signup in using the SSO button without first having an account the current instance. They need first to create an account in the current instance and then link the account with the external provider.

For self-managed instances, we would like to clarify the difference between GitLab.com account and GitLab account (this one refers to the current instance).

Changelog: changed

Closes #415478 (closed)

How to set up and validate locally

  1. On gitlab.yml, set up allow_single_sign_on to false and restart the instance.
  omniauth:
    allow_single_sign_on: false # It means that signing in using your OmniAuth provider account is only allowed if the user has a pre-existing account in the current instance.
  1. Use GitLab.com to signup.
