Prevent workflow right drawer flickering when selecting an action type (#8028)

In this PR:

- Use a stable id for create-step nodes; it makes it possible to
preserve their selected attribute and keep them open even after the flow
is re-generated
- Preemptively open the WorkflowStepEdit right drawer for the created
action
