Add Jakarta REST client module for HttpClient

[arturobernalg]

This PR adds httpclient5-jakarta-rest-client, a small Java 11+ client-side module that creates implementations of jakarta.ws.rs-annotated interfaces with Apache HttpClient underneath.

The c/]qurrent implementation is intentionally minimal and focused on the client side only.

@arturobernalg Was this change-set AI generated? I have an impression it was authored by someone who has no familiarity with our code base.

This is a start and a good proof of concept. Would you actually be willing to take your time and do it better?

@ok2c Yes. I can rework it. If you have a specific direction in mind, please let me know

@ok2c

I reworked the patch to keep it small and direct, dropped the extra framework-like pieces, and aligned it more closely with the existing HttpClient style.
Is this closer to what you had in mind when you said it needed to be done better, or do you still see parts that feel off in terms of scope or design?

1. Please use the async client because we want the REST client to support HTTP/2 as well. Please use it without resorting to content buffering in memory (do not use 'simple' message objects). 'Simple' APIs are not intended for production use, so we should not be using them internally. Use the new Jackson2 bindings from core.
2. Please do not re-implement the percent codec. What stops you from using what we already have? Not good enough? Improve it.
3. Please use URIBuilder to construct request URIs.

The whole thing still looks like it just got vibe-coded with some AI agent. There is no need to rush it. Take your time to do it right. I think this can be the most important contribution to the project since @rschmitt reactive module. So, please take your time

@arturobernalg I do not understand how this can be holding you back. This change in core allows for a custom content-type for JSON content, which looks like a corner case to me. I do not see how it is relevant here.

I removed the dependency on it in the Jakarta REST client and switched the POJO request body path to the current Jackson2 producer API. I also disabled the test that was asserting the custom JSON media type corner case for POJO bodies.

@arturobernalg Great! I will do a thorough review either this weekend or the next one the latest. This is the top priority change-set for me.
