Add body conversion capabilities in RestClient::exchange

This commit introduces a ConvertibleClientHttpResponse type that
extends ClientHttpResponse, and that can convert the body to a desired
type. Before this commit, it was not easy to use the configured HTTP
message converters in combination with RestClient::exchange.

Closes gh-31597
