Error message not proper while creating 16th user via Redfish

[rahulmah]

While creating 16th user via Redfish, we get below error. Here you can see that message says that - its unable to create user as it already exist (which is not true). "Message": "The requested resource of type #ManagerAccount.v1_0_3.ManagerAccount with the property UserName with the value rahul15 already exists.",

It should say something like - "New user cannot be created as max user limit reached."

bash-4.1$curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $bmc_token" -X POST https://${BMC_IP}/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts -d '{"UserName":"rahul15", "Password":"0penBmc1", "RoleId":"Administrator", "Enabled":true}'

Note, "New user cannot be created as max user limit reached." is not the correct error message.

CreateLimitReachedForResource message states: "The create operation failed because the resource has reached the limit of possible resources." This is the correct error to include.
