selenium: Use Special:CreateAccount for account creation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Using Special:CreateAccount instead of the API account creation method would have prevented the T285996: [regression-wmf12] new accounts do not get GrowthExperiments features regression from occurring.

But using Special:CreateAccount is unstable until someone resolves T299193: MediaWiki login failure due to race condition with session cookie.
