[keycloak-user] Display specific 'token expired error message' when user tries to perform a 'user action' for which the token has expired?

[Stian Thorgersen]

Unformatted error message will just return the key used to lookup the
actual error message. In this case the key is invalidCodeMessage. You can
change what text is displayed for this key by creating a custom theme, add
a message bundle with a different value for that key. Messages should be
changed this way, not by editing the template so there's no need to pass
the "unformatted message" to the ftl.

One issue is that this specific key is used for a few different errors,
including:

* A user clicks on the link again after it has been completed
* The link expires
* A user spends to long trying to login so the code is removed

Ideally we'd have different keys for different scenarios, but it's hard to
identify which is the problem as the code has been removed we're not
actually sure what's going on.
