Error message not shown for nickname when user profile is updated

[prasad-nevase]

The 'nickname' field is marked as 'required'. But when the profile is updated by keeping 'nickname' empty its replaced by username value and error message is not shown. Ideally it should show the error message like it does for email field. The attached patch handles this and shows error message same as how WordPress shows error message for 'email' field.

Hi Team, Just checking in if there is any update.

In your patch you've deleted wp-config-sample.php file.

I've updated your patch with a few minor changes

Correctly present an error to the user if the nickname field is empty when updating a user profile. It's strange that this field is required, but it is, so be it.

Fixes #33310
Props prasad-nevase, metodiew
