Describe the bug

Leveraging the GitHubHelper().createDeploymentStatus(...) function no longer works and yields the following stack trace:

[Pipeline] echo
deploymentId:293897475 - status:FAILURE - config:[targetUrl:https://REDACTED/pr-9]
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // script

Expected behavior

On an older version of jenkins-basic (specifically Jenkins version 2.176.1, commit BCDevOps/openshift-components@1325074), invoking GitHubHelper().createDeploymentStatus(...) was functional.

Additional context

It looks like the GitHub plugin that jenkins-pipeline-shared-lib depends on is calling a function that no longer exists because the GitHub plugin has been updated.

Last known working version had the following plugins at these versions:

• GitHub API Plugin: 1.95
• Github plugin: 1.29.4

Observed issue had the following plugins at these versions:

• GitHub API Plugin: 1.115
• Github plugin: 1.31.0
