Update Factory methods for conditional binding

[aPalenov]

In the current implementation of the Factory class, there is no ability to override bindings for dependencies. Please add functionality that allows developers to override these bindings. This would greatly simplify the configuration and testing of the application, as well as increase its flexibility.

Please provide your specific use case in your own application.

In my current application, I use the beyondcode/laravel-websockets package, which allows me to change the channel_manager in the websockets.php configuration file (for example, here). This gives me the ability to modify and create custom channels.

An example of this is shown in the following code:

<?php

namespace App\Libraries\LaravelWebSockets\Channels\ChannelManagers;

use App\Libraries\LaravelWebSockets\Channels\PresenceSecretChannel;
use BeyondCode\LaravelWebSockets\WebSockets\Channels\ChannelManagers\ArrayChannelManager as BaseArrayChannelManager;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class ArrayChannelManager extends BaseArrayChannelManager
{
    protected function determineChannelClass(string $channelName): string
    {
        if (Str::startsWith($channelName, 'presence-secret-')) {
            return PresenceSecretChannel::class;
        }

        return parent::determineChannelClass($channelName);
    }
}

In this case, I create a channel where users can subscribe via whisper/listenForWhisper, sending messages that are only accessible to specific users. Each message also includes a user_id.

While it might not be necessary to replace the entire ArrayChannelManager, having the ability to create my own channels would significantly simplify the configuration of the application.
