Configure JSON GraphQlModule in client support

The various GraphQL clients supported in this project automatically detect
JSON codecs for reading/writing GraphQL requests as JSON payloads.
If there is none detected, clients provide a default codec instance.

This commit configures automatically the `GraphQlModule` from gh-1174 in
default codecs and add integration tests for `FieldValue<T>` usage on the
client side.

This also improves the documentation around `FieldValue<T>` for both
server and client side support.

Closes gh-1190

If you want to use `ArgumentValue` from a client or test, you can register the
`GraphQLModule` in Jackson which can serialize/deserialize the value depending on
the state.
By default, input types in GraphQL are nullable and optional, an input value (or any of its fields)
can be set to the `null` literal, or not provided at all. This distinction is useful for
partial updates with a mutation where the underlying data may also be, either set to
`null` or not changed at all accordingly.
For example:
Similar to the xref:controllers.adoc#controllers.schema-mapping.fieldvalue[`FieldValue<T> support in controllers`],
we can wrap an Input type with `FieldValue<T>` or use it at the level of class attributes on the client side.
Given a `ProjectInput` class like:
include-code::ProjectInput[indent=0]
We can use our client to send a mutation request:
include-code::FieldValueClient[tag=fieldvalue,indent=0]
For this to work, the client must use Jackson for JSON (de)serialization and must be configured
with the `org.springframework.graphql.client.json.GraphQlModule`.
This can be registered manually on the underlying HTTP client like so:
include-code::FieldValueClient[tag=createclient,indent=0]
This `GraphQlModule` can be globally registered in Spring Boot applications by contributing it as a bean:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
