`_wp_array_get()` is an expensive function, and it's called thousands of times on each page view on the front end. While the function performance was slightly improved in #58376, it is still called more times than it should be.
This commit aims to further optimize its usage:
* In many cases, `_wp_array_get()` can be replaced with a much simpler and faster `isset()` check.
* The `isset()` function is capable of checking nested arrays, so `isset( $foo['a']['b']['c'] )` will return false even if `$foo['a']` is unset, without throwing any errors or warnings.
* When `_wp_array_get()` cannot be directly replaced with `isset()`, it would be good practice to wrap it in an `isset()` function so that `_wp_array_get()` only runs when it needs to.
