[Dbix-class] find_or_create did it find or created?

[Thomas Sibley]

Use find_or_new instead, and then check $id->in_storage.  Make sure to call $id->insert when $id->in_storage is false.

This is explained in the documentation for find_or_create <https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Class::ResultSet#find_or_create>, starting with “If you need to know if an existing row was found or a new one created…”.
