Re: [Custom]: Rename "createdCallback" to "created"

Hi Jarek,

What I learned from people around me is that these names have "Callback"
suffixes because
- to indicate that it is for a callback function and not a callable API
- it is low-level API and had to use non-trivial name

So even it doesn't seem to add any information, the suffix has some meaning
by existing there.

I'm concerned about what you said about "inconsistent with the rest of the
Web Platform".
What are examples of the rest?
