 When an invalid username is entered when composing a message, a generic
 error message is shown:

 > Message was not sent. Please try again.

 We should output a better error message for users.

 I've attached a patch that changes `messages_new_message()` to add an
 `$error_type` parameter.  When `$error_type` is 'wp_error', this uses the
 `WP_Error` API to return error messages.

 This will allow us to grab error messages without having to parse out all
 invalid recipients again in `bp_messages_action_create_message()`.
