perf(ivy): avoid unnecessary function calls when bound value doesn't change (#30255)

In the existing implementation the `elementPropertyInternal` function (meant to
set element properties) was executed even if a bound value didn't change. The
`elementPropertyInternal` was inspecting the incoming value and after comparing it
to `NO_CHANGE` - exiting early. All in all it meant that we were unnecessarily
invoking the `elementPropertyInternal` function for cases where bound value didn't
change.

Based on my bencharks (running change detection without any model update in a tight
loop) this unnecessary function call was causing ~5% slowdown in the change detection
process.
