Show friendly help if we can't find the openid session token from a validation link
The most common reason for that is initiating a login on a third-party site,
creating the account in sso as part of the flow, then clicking on the
activation link on another device or browser.
SO instead of sending people to a terse 404 page which causes them to fume and
come file bugs which end up as dupes of https://pad.lv/1693375, the new (still
a 404-code) page explains what to do and provides a link where they can
validate their e-mail address out of the third-party login flow (which is the
workaround we recommend anyway, after painful back and forth checking the
format of the link they clicked on and referring to the cited bug)
