Installing broadcasting doesn't add routes to bootstrap/app.php if routes/channels.php file exists

Description

After updating the application skeleton files to those included with Laravel 11, I ran php artisan install:broadcasting as instructed in https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/broadcasting#installation

However, the broadcast routes were not registered in bootstrap/app.php as I already had the routes/channels.php file.

The install:broadcasting command does not add the routes to bootstrap/app.php if the channels.php file already exists:

framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/BroadcastingInstallCommand.php

Line 53 in eac3418

$this->uncommentChannelsRoutesFile();

I believe $this->uncommentChannelsRoutesFile(); should be called regardless of whether the channels.php file exists or not, and a check added to $this->uncommentChannelsRoutesFile(); to prevent duplication.

Steps To Reproduce

• Have existing Laravel 10 app that uses broadcasting
• Upgrade application to Laravel 11 including new bootstrap/app.php file
• Run php artisan install:broadcasting to re-enable broadcasting
• The expected changes to bootstrap/app.php are not made
