Description

As of current latest version 2.46.0 of OCI SDK - it references old Apache Http 4.x libs in this POM:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/oracle/oci/sdk/oci-java-sdk/2.46.0/oci-java-sdk-2.46.0.pom

<apache-httpcomponents.httpclient.version>4.5.13</apache-httpcomponents.httpclient.version>
<apache-httpcomponents.httpcore.version>4.4.13</apache-httpcomponents.httpcore.version>

while there is already available Http Client v5.1.4 with multiple fixes/enhancements:
https://hc.apache.org/news.html

Could we have OCI SDK release with that? Maybe OCI SDK 3.0.0?

Research direction

Start with the OCI SDK 2.46.0 POM linked in the issue and inspect how the Apache HttpClient 4.x versions are declared and used across the SDK. Compare the compatibility and release implications of moving to HttpClient 5.1.4; done means a defined SDK release path using the newer client without breaking existing consumers.
