Support StreamingHttpOutputMessage in RestClient

This commit allows RestClient to handle StreamingHttpOutputMessage
properly by checking the type of the request and invoking setBody()
when appropriate. This improves interoperability with components that
expect streamed output.

A new integration test has been added to verify the functionality.

See gh-35102
