Summary of Changes

To get away from the CMSObject class we need a step by step process in the getItem function of the admin model. Alternative to #42714 which makes the CMSObject a stdClass and changes the return type to it. It is a more lightweight solution as no new deprecated flag is introduced. It has basically the same effect as when we change the flag in 6.0.

I have tested this item :white_check_mark: successfully on 080cca9abe134c034cde296f0152b8b88a8fef7f

I've created an article with a number of custom fields and schema stuff. No difference before / after patch so I guess it works.
