馃幆 MVC 3 follow-up: Change "Opened" to "Created" within Issues, Epics, and MRs

Proposal

This issue is a follow up of #246959 (closed)

All the above changes: created-various.patch

Insight

Users are confused by our use of Opened ## minutes ago in list views. They assume this indicates when the item was literally "opened up"/visited by another teammate or perhaps updated- and not that this is when the item was created.

Supporting evidence

Interview participant: "This is when the issue was last opened or edited"
