Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi all,
I'm a bit confused by the somewhat recent choice of imposing okhttp client in the feign ApiClient template.
In my opinion a "general purpose" API generator should do nothing but using the default http client. If someone would like to use other options (eg: okhttp or whatever) it could/should be provided as an option of the generator or implemented in a custom template.
Describe the solution you'd like
Remove the dependency on okhttpclient from Feign ApiClient.mustache template.

Research direction
Locate the Feign ApiClient.mustache template and inspect how its generated client declares the okhttp dependency. Check the related Java Feign generator configuration and dependency output; done means the template no longer imposes okhttp while generated Feign clients retain their intended default HTTP behavior.
