Add ModelCollection->getModels() to get the backing array of the collection

[JulianVennen]

When selecting models, you often want to have an array of models at the end. ModelCollection exists because queries can return additional data like the number of rows that matched the filter or how long it took to execute the query.

To convert a model collection to an array you previously had to iterate over it and copy the elements into an array. Now you can just call ->getModels() instead.

Pull request overview

Adds a convenience accessor to retrieve the underlying models array from ModelCollection, avoiding manual iteration/copying when callers need a plain array.

Changes:

• Documented the $models property as a typed generic array (TModel[]).
• Added ModelCollection::getModels() to return the internal models array.
