Summary of Changes

As title says, this PR replaces the deprecated method call Factory::getUser() in SiteApplication and AdministratorApplication classes by getIdentity() method.

It is safe for this replacement because at very early application execution, it import behaviour and system plugins https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/6.2-dev/libraries/src/Application/CMSApplication.php#L305. Inside these code, Joomla calls Factory::getUser() and at that time, session is started and it trigger this method https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/6.2-dev/libraries/src/Application/WebApplication.php#L355 which loads current user into application.

In short, the user object is loaded into application identity at very early state in application life cycle, so it is safe to use getIdentity method to get current user instead of using deprecated method Factory::getUser() for site, admin and api applications.
