…)` for key lookups.

This updates several places in core that test whether an array has a given key:

* `in_array( $key, array_keys( $array ), true )` allocates a complete copy of every key and walks it.
* `isset( $array[ $key ] )`, on the other hand, does a single hash lookup in constant time with no allocation.

Note: For arrays that main contain `null` values, [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-key-exists.php#example-2 array_key_exists()] should be used instead.

Developed in #12929.

Props mukesh27, siliconforks.
