Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Newer .NET versions have a new default handler for HttpClient: System.Net.Http.SocketsHttpHandler, but the current csharp client uses HttpClientHandler, it would be nice to support using the newer SocketsHttpHandler when available or as a separate library template.
Describe the solution you'd like
Support using SocketsHttpHandler in the csharp and httpclient library generator.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Modify the templates locally by myself.

Research direction
Start by locating the C# httpclient library generator templates and the existing HttpClientHandler usage. Review how handler choices are exposed in generated clients; done means the generator supports SocketsHttpHandler when available or provides a separate template, with appropriate coverage for the selected approach.
