Magento 2.2 Fix Notice and Exception while adding image to product programmatically

[gelanivishal]

Original PR

#18952

Fixed Issues (if relevant)

1. Product::addImageToMediaGallery throws Exception #6803: Product::addImageToMediaGallery throws Exception

Preconditions

Magento Version 2.3
PHP Version 7.2

Steps to reproduce

$product = $this->productFactory->create()
            ->setName($productName)
            ->setStatus($productStatus)
            ->setSku($productSku)
$product->setAttributeSetId($product->getDefaultAttributeSetId());

$product->addImageToMediaGallery($file, [
                'image',
                'small_image',
                'thumbnail',
            ], false, false);
$this->productRepository->save($product);

Expected result

Image gets added

Actual result

Exception gets thrown:

Notice: Undefined index: media_type in vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Product.php on line 2527

There's a workaround for this issue, using the Product::save method instead of the ProductRepositoryInterface::save method, but because it's a deprecated method I would like to avoid this.
