[Java] fix Jackson 3 createDefaultMapper(null) losing the default date format (restclient, webclient)

[SubhamAshok]

Fixes #24588

With useJackson3=true, the Jackson 3 branch of createDefaultMapper passes a null DateFormat straight into JsonMapper.builder().defaultDateFormat(dateFormat). The Jackson 2 branch of the same template falls back to createDefaultDateFormat() when the argument is null. The generator's own entry points (buildRestClientBuilder(), buildRestClient()) call createDefaultMapper(null), so nothing clears WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS and date-time fields serialize as epoch numbers instead of RFC 3339.

Verified against Jackson 3.1.5 with an exact copy of the generated method:

createDefaultMapper(null), master : {"clientId":"client-1","issuedAt":1785605400.000000000}
createDefaultMapper(null), fixed  : {"clientId":"client-1","issuedAt":"2026-08-01T17:30:00Z"}

The fix adds the same null fallback the Jackson 2 branch already has. The webclient template has the identical bug (same createDefaultMapper(null) call sites, same missing fallback), so it gets the same 3 lines.

Not touched: #24587 (missing message converters) is a separate bug in the same file and will get its own PR.

Changes:

• Java/libraries/restclient/ApiClient.mustache, Java/libraries/webclient/ApiClient.mustache: null fallback in the Jackson 3 createDefaultMapper
• Regression test JavaClientCodegenTest#testJackson3DefaultMapperFallsBackToDefaultDateFormat_issue_24588 (both libraries)
• Regenerated the 4 affected sample configs (java-restclient/webclient-springBoot4-jackson3, plus jspecify variants), 3 lines each, no other drift

Tested: JavaClientCodegenTest 273/273 green.

PR checklist

Summary by cubic

Fixes incorrect date-time serialization when useJackson3=true by making createDefaultMapper(null) fall back to the default date format in Java restclient and webclient. Date-times now serialize as RFC 3339 strings instead of epoch numbers. Fixes #24588.

• Bug Fixes
  • In the Jackson 3 branch of createDefaultMapper, use createDefaultDateFormat() when dateFormat is null (parity with Jackson 2).
  • Added regression test: JavaClientCodegenTest#testJackson3DefaultMapperFallsBackToDefaultDateFormat_issue_24588.
  • Regenerated affected samples (restclient/webclient Spring Boot 4 + Jackson 3, including jspecify).
