Remove Info.CreatedTS method

In #2176 a whitelist option for the usage of image timestamps from
labels was implemented. This PR did however not remove the
`CreatedTS` method, with as a result that some elements of Flux like
`fluxctl` would still consult the timestamp parsed from labels, rather
than relying on the cache decorated `info.CreatedAt`.

This commit removes the method, and replaces any calls made to it
with `info.CreatedAt`, so that a timestamp from a label is not
mistakenly used while the image has not been whitelisted.
