(Sonar) Fixed finding: "Stream.toList() should be used instead of collectors" (#430)

## Remediation

This change fixes "`Stream.toList()` should be used instead of
`collectors`" (id =
[java:S6204](https://rules.sonarsource.com/java/RSPEC-6204)) identified
by Sonar.

## Details

This change modernizes a stream's `List` creation to be driven from the
simple, and more readable
[`Stream#toList()`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/16/docs/api/java.base/java/util/stream/Collectors.html#toList())
method.

Our changes look something like this:

```diff
- List<Integer> numbers = someStream.collect(Collectors.toList());
+ List<Integer> numbers = someStream.toList();
```
