[11.x] Expand Gate::allows & Gate::denies signature

[antonkomarev]

Gate::check method signature was changed in Laravel 5.5:

• [5.5] Implement iterable Gate::check() and Gate::any() #20084

In reality since then Gate::allows & Gate::denies accepts iterable abilities as well (because they are calling Gate::check under the hood).

public function allows($ability, $arguments = [])
{
    return $this->check($ability, $arguments);
}

public function denies($ability, $arguments = [])
{
    return ! $this->allows($ability, $arguments);
}

public function check($abilities, $arguments = [])
{
    return collect($abilities)->every(
        fn ($ability) => $this->inspect($ability, $arguments)->allowed()
    );
}

I found in many repositories that ability arrays passed to these methods and decided to fix this undocumented inconsistency by allowing arrays as first argument.

Targeted to master because of the contract change.

@antonkomarev I don't see a contract change here in the native method signature here so you could just send it in to 10.x 👍

Created separate MR to 10.x branch as @driesvints proposed:

• [10.x] Expand Gate::allows & Gate::denies signature #49503
