Refactor(createFlash): call original from deprecated

What does this MR do?

This MR shifts the implementation of the deprecatedCreateFlash to call createFlash instead. This will make it easier for us to do incremental updates to move away from calling deprecatedCreateFlash to calling createFlash directly.

This MR is preparation for following MRs like this: !55549 (merged)

What is the difference:

Functionally, there is not much difference between createFlash and deprecatedCreateFlash. The former reports to Sentry, uses gl-display-block, instead of display: 'block', and does not overwrite existing messages. Other than that, they work the same.
