Description

In PR #54644 the static property $modelNameResolver on Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory was renamed to $modelNameResolvers, and given a default value of an array.

This makes sense in context, but was a BC break for any other library or code used that property. I've just encountered this due to internachi/modular suddenly breaking in my test suite (which comes in via hirethunk/verbs). This is the library that I encountered that has the issue, but I suspect that it's not the only one.

I'm not sure what the best resolution is here as the new use has also changed the nature of the property, but I suspect that the solution will be returning the original property and providing a method which uses it as a fallback.

Steps To Reproduce

• Run composer require internachi/modular
• Attempt to do anything that uses a model factory.

Get error:

Class Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory does not have a property named modelNameResolver

3rd party packages need to be fixed with the new approach. The changes was there to fix a huge bug on the framework side.

I understand that the other packages will have to be updated (and I've already submitted a PR to that library to resolve it there), but it's a BC break in a minor release.
