Add Jakarta REST Request and Response return support

[arturobernalg]

Support jakarta.ws.rs.core.Response as a resource method return type,
including access to response metadata and entity decoding. Responses
declared as Response are returned to the caller even for non-successful
status codes.

@arturobernalg Looks good overall. ClientRequest does not look very useful. I would drop it for now. I also would like to change the intermediate representation of the ClientResponse JSON content from byte array to JsonNode for better efficiency but this can be done as a separate change-set at a later point.

Done. I dropped ClientRequest / Request support and kept the change focused on Response.

I also changed JSON Response entity decoding to parse into JsonNode once and reuse that tree for subsequent readEntity(...) calls.

@arturobernalg I will start a thread on the dev list to discuss release plans.

We have plenty of new features already for the coming feature release. Please focus on polishing the new code and improving documentation.
