Use generic TModel in additional places in Factory class (#59780)

Move Scope interface @template from method-level to class-level to fi…

…x LSP violation (#59675)

The previous method-level @template on apply() meant every implementation
had to accept any Model subtype (∀TModel), making it impossible for
user-defined scopes to narrow the model type without violating the
Liskov Substitution Principle. Moving the template to the interface level
allows implementations to bind a specific model via @implements Scope<T>.

prefer `isset()` over `in_array()` for better performance (#59457)

the `class_uses_recursive()` method returns an array where both the key and value are the same fully qualified class name. by switching to `isset()` we get O(1) performance, while `in_array()` gives O(n) performance.

- also remove some single use temporary variables
- passes multiple arguments to `isset()` rather than multiple separate calls
