Add support for LocalDate (or OffsetDateTime, etc.) in HttpRequestMessage<Optional<T>> in Functions with Spring Cloud

#### Investigative information

Please provide the following:

- Timestamp: 2023-03-16T10:26:35.390Z
- Function App name: local development
- Function name(s) (as appropriate): local development
- Invocation ID: local development
- Region: local development

#### Repro steps

Provide the steps required to reproduce the problem:

1. Define any POJO with a `LocalDate` or `OffsetDateTime` property, e.g. `User`
2. Use the POJO as request body for your HTTP call, e.g. `HttpRequestMessage>`
3. Build & run your Application (`mvn azure-functions:run`)
4. Call your function and define the request body as defined in the POJO

#### Expected behavior

Provide a description of the expected behavior.

After Step 4 I expect to have called the function successfully

#### Actual behavior

Provide a description of the actual behavior observed.

Step 4 won't work because I always get the same error message as follows:

#### Known workarounds

Provide a description of any known workarounds.

The current workaround would be to use a `String` instead of the immutable date objects. But that would not be suffice, because in our project we want to work with generated models that uses the ISO datetime.

Another workaround would be that we use `Java.util.Date` when generating our models, but I don't really like the idea of using that.

Beginnen Sie mit dem Binding-Pfad in DataOperations.java und RpcHttpRequestDataSource.java und reproduzieren Sie dann das Problem anhand des mitgelieferten PersonHandler-Beispiels und `mvn azure-functions:run`. Überprüfen Sie, wie ein POJO mit LocalDate oder OffsetDateTime für HttpRequestMessage> konvertiert wird; abgeschlossen ist dies, wenn die Anfrage ohne die gemeldete Ausnahme erfolgreich gebunden wird.
