Better error message when non-logged in users view the newticket page

[johnbillion]

When linking a user to ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/newticket, they see a nasty error message if they're not logged in. Can we make this error a bit more user-friendly?

@samuelsidler what kind of flexibility is there in updating the error? I'm guessing we mostly have control over the wording of the error, and not the overall layout. The first thought I had was to clean it up by removing the red error part, and rewording the H1 error message. Thoughts?

The message is different now so this ticket is required?

The form is there if you're already logged in.

If you're not logged in yet, there's still the same error message, exactly as reported.

I like the suggestion from @JoshuaWold. Just the Font-size from the close button should be a bit larger, cause its pretty small and hard to read. Also do change the design of the button, could be useful, cause the color contrast of the border ist not really high.

short and simple

How about the styling remains the same and the text is simple: "You need to login to create a new ticket."

iIt looks like this was somewhat improved over the years by linking to
https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https://core.trac.wordpress.org/newticket instead of just https://core.trac.wordpress.org/newticket (relevant commits: [341], [361], [3139]), so that you only see the form once you're logged in, instead of the error message.

It would be great to improve the original message and get rid of the redirect_to workaround, but the message appears to be in Trac's perm.py file, and I'm not sure if there's an easy way to customize it.

Trac: Add a nicer error message when viewing the new ticket page logged out.

Props joyously for the wording.
Fixes #1453.
