This implements the functionality proposed in issue 22286. (fixes #22286)
It adds a new library option to kotlin-spring generator called spring-declarative-http-interface, which allows for generation of Spring Declarative Http Interfaces for simple instantiations of clients that is available since Spring Boot 3.

I implemented ability to switch between ResponseEntity<SomeClassType> wrapped method return types or just plain SomeClassType and support for both reactive and non-reactive options.

For reactive options I implemented support for both kotlin-native coroutine approach (with the exception of not returning Flow for collections/arrays as Flow is not supported by spring declarative interfaces) as well as reactor approach with responses wrapped in Mono or Flux.

PR checklist

  • Read the contribution guidelines.
  • Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
  • Run the following to build the project and update samples:
    ./mvnw clean package || exit
    ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
    ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
    
    (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
    Commit all changed files.
    This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
    These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
    You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
    IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
  • File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
  • If your PR solves a reported issue, reference it using GitHub's linking syntax (e.g., having "fixes #123" present in the PR description)
  • If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request. - tagging @karismann @Zomzog @andrewemery @4brunu @yutaka0m @stefankoppier @e5l

I will also dare to tag members of the java-spring technical committee as this is mostly about the Spring aspect and I think the language is not as important - tagging @cachescrubber @welshm @MelleD @atextor @manedev79 @javisst @borsch @banlevente @Zomzog @martin-mfg
