[12.x] Feature: allow UnitEnum in has() method of Gate class

[webard]

Since the Gate::define() method allows the $ability argument to be an Enum, the Gate::has() method should also accept an Enum.

This PR aligns both methods for consistency.

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for UnitEnum as a parameter type to the Gate::has() method, aligning it with the Gate::define() method which already accepts UnitEnum. This change ensures consistency across the Gate API when working with enum-based abilities.

Key Changes:

• Updated the Gate::has() method to accept UnitEnum in addition to string and array
• Added enum_value() function call in the implementation to properly handle enum values
• Updated PHPDoc annotations across the facade, contract interface, and implementation
