Aborting a request does not preserve the response entity's generic type

[Sola-ris]

Hi everyone,

I encountered an issue when aborting a request via ClientRequestContext#abortWith with a Response containing a GenericEntity.

When attempting to serialize the entity in ClientResponse, null is passed as the type parameter, making any MessageBodyWriter that relies on the genericType parameter return false from isWriteable or throw a NullPointerException, depending on how the parameter is accessed.

From looking at it in the debugger, the generic type information seems to be available at that point, either from casting the response parameter
to an OutboundJaxrsResponse and calling .getContext().getEntityType() on it, or from calling the same methods the OutboundJaxrsResponse created here.

Jersey version: 3.1.10

Java version: 21

Reproducer: https://github.com/Sola-ris/jersey-abort-with-generic-entity-reproducer

Run reproducer ./mvnw clean test
