General: Move creators plugin getter

[iLLiCiTiT]

Brief description

Moved get_creator_by_name function into openpype.pipeline.create.creator_plugins and renamed to get_legacy_creator_by_name.

Testing notes:

Creation during loading in Blender and Maya should work as before.

Could you show me how I could get the non legacy creators by name? (Or basically what the new equivalent is of this functionality)

Creator plugins are wrapped into CreateContext. Creators can be accessed by their identifier from there. So there is not direct equivalent of this functionality.

Programmatically creation is not "ideal" now but ready to be added. The development focus was and still is elsewhere.

from openpype.pipeline import registered_host
from openpype.pipeline.create import CreateContext


context = CreateContext(registered_host())
render_creator = context.creators["render"]
...
# Do some stuff
...
context.save_changes()

Thanks - that helps. That still looks painful, yes. Moving to legacy seem fine - we'll just need to make sure not to mark it deprecated until the new system is at the same ease of use.
