Consolidate Several Series and Dataframe Methods (#9059)

Partly addresses #9038 

This function consolidate several (trivial) functions from `Series` and `DataFrame` into Frame. `__invert__` was consolidated to shared (more efficient) code path using factory methods. 
`deserialize` was not consolidated because we have to provide backward compatibility to older classes. But factory method was used for faster class construction.
