Description
Validation code here https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/cf303d4e034ce9d8eb194fb4e37a1f3409814cf9/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/Java/libraries/apache-httpclient/ApiClient.mustache#L1096 prevents me from sending GET request with body data.
I'm using OpenApi version 3.1.0 which explicitly allows to have request body in GET methods.

Suggest a fix
Remove this validation and leave it for http library to decide if method can have request body.

Research direction
Start in modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/Java/libraries/apache-httpclient/ApiClient.mustache at the validation around line 1096. Check how the apache-httpclient template handles GET request bodies, then verify that generated clients allow the request body decision to reach the HTTP library without this validation.
