Missing middleware in the tutorial generated code

[dotocan1]

Description

Hello, the problem I found is that you have to manually add the:

app.AddControllers();
app.MapControllers();

middleware in the Program.cs file.
It does not get generated automatically when using the console command:
dotnet new webapi -o BookStoreApi

Without it, the routes don't get called.

If it's OK, I'd like to work on this issue.
Let me know if I can help in any way.

Because minimal is the default now, I think this can be fixed by updating the dotnet new command to use controllers:

- dotnet new webapi -o BookStoreApi
+ dotnet new webapi --use-controllers -o BookStoreApi

Side note: I noticed the codesample used in the article references the 6.x code, while there's a newer 8.x example. I can also update this and create a 9.x example and update the instructions to use .NET 9. I also mention this because the article uses 8.x.
