[BUG] `ApiClient.kt.mustache` calls `.toString()` method on a `ByteArray` when building multipart request

Start in modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/kotlin-client/libraries/jvm-okhttp/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache, especially requestBody(content: T, mediaType: String?) and the multipart addPart call around line 156. Reproduce the issue by generating a Kotlin client from the supplied multipart OpenAPI definition and posting a ByteArray; done means the request contains the byte array contents rather than its object representation.

Bug Report Checklist

Description

In the ApiClient.kt.mustache file during the creation of the request body the requestBody(content: T, mediaType: String?) method correctly builds a multipart/form request when part.body is File, but for all other data types the part is added to the request by calling the .toString() method on the part body:

addPart(
    Headers.of(partHeaders),
    RequestBody.create(null, parameterToString(part.body))
)

This results in the .toString() method being called on a ByteArray - which returns a string containing the class name, '@' symbol, and the hash code of the array object ("[B@7c67645b"), instead of the contents of the byte array.
