Remove View#createElement / View#destroyElement.

[rwjblue]

These have been private for quite a long time (perhaps always?), and are
used extremely infrequently outside of Ember's own test suite (which has
been cleaned up to avoid these methods over the last few weeks).

@rwjblue I have an ember addon that is using the createElement() method. I user just reported an issue relating to the removal of createElement in 2.8.

              const item = Component.create({
                model: model,
                layout: self.get('suggestionTemplate') // This is a compiled ember template
              }).createElement();

What is the correct way to create a component in code?

@rwjblue, I am trying to do something similar to @jackmatt2. But I have not been able to find any way to do that using 2.8 LTS. Did you ever find a solution to this?

Any help is appreciated.

@initram This is the way I solved it.

            const el = document.createElement('div');
            Component.create({
              model,
              layout: self.get('suggestionTemplate'), 
              renderer: self.renderer // Required for Gimmer
            }).appendTo(el);
            return el;
