Description

I noticed that the XxxApi.java file generated when using library=native calls apiClient.getHttpClient() and stores the resulting HttpClient in a private field, but never calls .close() on it. (This class was made AutoCloseable in Java 21, and closing it is important to release resources.) Clients of the library could not easily work around this; they would have to pass in a special HttpClient.Builder which tracked all the times .build() was called, and retain weak references so they could be closed later.

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/jenkinsci/cursor-origin-branch-source-plugin .
git checkout 2b2e1c5beaac428488aa5406e0d38721a572d57b
mvn -Pquick-build package
fgrep memberVarHttpClient target/generated-sources/openapi/io/jenkins/plugins/cursor_origin_branch_source/origin_openapi/api/OriginServiceApi.java

Expected: some call to memberVarHttpClient.close(). Actual: none, just created and then used to make requests.

NOTE: I tried to reproduce in trunk (f99cf3b) but compilation failed for some apparently unrelated reason: missing Enum.java. (Bisected this to #24812.) OriginServiceApi.java was still generated the same way, still compilable, still missing .close().
