[java] feat: Add native Java 11 HTTP client methods to HttpClient interface (#16412)

* feat: Add native Java 11 HTTP client methods to HttpClient interface

Add sendAsyncNative() and sendNative() methods to leverage java.net.http.HttpClient
capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with existing executeAsync().

## New Methods Added:
- sendAsyncNative(): Asynchronous HTTP requests using CompletableFuture
- sendNative(): Synchronous HTTP requests with native error handling

## Benefits:
- HTTP/2 support with automatic protocol negotiation and multiplexing
- Efficient streaming for large files without memory overhead
- Native async operations with CompletableFuture integration
- Flexible response handling via BodyHandler (String, File, Stream, Lines)
- Better error handling with specific HTTP exceptions (IOException, InterruptedException)
- Improved performance for concurrent requests

## Implementation Details:
- Added method signatures to HttpClient interface
- Implemented native delegation in JdkHttpClient using underlying java.net.http.HttpClient
- Added pass-through implementations in TracedHttpClient
- Added UnsupportedOperationException stubs in test classes and utility clients
- Maintained full backward compatibility with existing methods

## Testing:
- Created comprehensive unit tests (NativeHttpClientMethodsTest)
- Tests cover both synchronous and asynchronous operations
- Exception handling validation for IOException and InterruptedException
- Request parameter validation for different HTTP methods (GET, POST)
- BodyHandler variations testing (String, Void, Stream)
- Mock implementations for reliable testing without external dependencies

The new methods provide a migration path towards modern Java 11 HTTP APIs
without breaking current implementations, enabling developers to leverage
native HTTP/2 features, better async handling, and improved performance
when using Selenium's HTTP client infrastructure.

* feat: Add generic native Java 11 HTTP client methods to HttpClient interface

Add sendAsyncNative() and sendNative() generic methods to leverage java.net.http.HttpClient
capabilities with full BodyHandler flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility.

## New Methods Added:
- <T> sendAsyncNative(): Generic asynchronous HTTP requests using CompletableFuture
- <T> sendNative(): Generic synchronous HTTP requests with native error handling

## Key Features:
- **Full BodyHandler Support**: String, File, Stream, Lines, ByteArray, Void (discarding)
- **HTTP/2 Support**: Automatic protocol negotiation and multiplexing
- **Efficient Streaming**: Large files without memory overhead via BodyHandlers.ofFile()
- **Native Async Operations**: CompletableFuture integration with proper type safety
- **Flexible Response Handling**: Type-safe responses based on BodyHandler type
- **Better Error Handling**: Specific HTTP exceptions (IOException, InterruptedException)
- **Improved Performance**: Concurrent requests and HTTP/2 optimizations

## Implementation Details:
- Added generic method signatures to HttpClient interface with proper JavaDoc
- Implemented native delegation in JdkHttpClient using underlying java.net.http.HttpClient
- Added pass-through generic implementations in TracedHttpClient
- Added UnsupportedOperationException stubs in test classes and utility clients
- Maintained full backward compatibility with existing executeAsync() method
- Enhanced type safety with proper generic constraints
