CreateElementTransaction is too similar to InsertNodeTransaction. Only the difference is, CreateElementTransaction::DoTransaction() creates an element via editor instance and marks it dirty before inserting the new element. E.g., selection management and whether inserting new node or not at "redo" are same.

So, for the maintenance cost reason, we should get rid of CreateElementTransaction, but for now, we should just make HTMLEditor use InsertNodeTransaction instead with a new pref to make it possible to back it out the new behavior.

This is a different point from InsertNodeTransaction. If reference node has
been removed from the DOM tree, it tries to insert the given node to end of
the container instead of returning error. This is an edge case of "redo", and
this is tested by WPT. If we'd need to back it out with Normandy after shipping
this changes, we'd need to uplift WPT expectation change. However, we should
avoid this situation. Therefore, this patch fixes the bug of
CreateElementTransaction first.

Depends on D132118
