We want to use SmartHttpMessageConverter over GenericHttpMessageConverter.

To get there, we first need to see the classes where GenericHttpMessageConverter is still used. These are HttpConverters with the methods static GenericHttpMessageConverter<Object> getJsonMessageConverter(). If we directly replace the return value with SmartHttpMessageConverter, we will see that some classes directly use GenericHttpMessageConverter and its methods.

To do this, I decided to create a special adapter SmartGenericHttpMessageConverterAdapter into which we can pass GenericHttpMessageConverter and use it as SmartHttpMessageConverter. We need this for classes that inherit from GenericHttpMessageConverter. However, for those who use jackson3, we can directly return JacksonJsonHttpMessageConverter, which in turn inherits from SmartHttpMessageConverter.

Closes: gh-18073

Is the location I chose for the adapter correct?
