[KOTLIN-ALL-GENS] - fix escaping of values across all templates

[Picazsoo]

This PR fixes many issues with incorrect escaping of default values, examples, descriptions in various contexts (as string literals, as kdocs, as multiline docs, as single line docs, as inline docs). The biggest issue of these was the default value that practically affects implementation logic and it was often incorrectly escaped. E.g. $ symbol was sometimes escaped as dollar, sometimes it was not escaped at all, leading to issues with compilation.

commits until e14fdba apply the fix to the existing sample configs as-is. The next commit includes a stress-test for the generated samples on purpose by extending the various open api specs with difficult-to-process values full of tricky defaults/examples/descriptions as well as problematic attribute names.

I am not 100% sure that this fixes everything everywhere, but I think it is a move in the right direction for the kotlin codegens

PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
• Run the following to build the project and update samples:

  ./mvnw clean package || exit
  ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
  ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
  

  (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
  Commit all changed files.
  This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
  These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
  You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
• File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
• If your PR solves a reported issue, reference it using GitHub's linking syntax (e.g., having "fixes #123" present in the PR description)
• If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.

Summary by cubic

Fixes incorrect escaping across all Kotlin templates to prevent invalid Kotlin code and broken docs. Centralizes escaping with new Mustache lambdas and unescaped fields; updates templates, aligns parameter tables in docs, adds worst‑case spec, regenerates samples, and adds tests (fixes #20502).

• Bug Fixes

  • Escape Kotlin strings in paths, param/base names, headers/cookies, annotations, and WireMock URLs using lambda.escapeInNormalString, lambda.escapeDollarInMultiline, and lambda.escapeMarkdown.
  • Correct string default values via new unescapedDefaultValue fields and lambda.escapeInNormalString; respects enums and multiline strings.
  • Add unescaped fields: CodegenOperation.unescapedSummary, CodegenResponse.unescapedMessage, CodegenParameter.unescapedDefaultValue, CodegenProperty.unescapedDefaultValue.
  • For kotlin-jvm-retrofit2, validate/sanitize @Path names and emit vendorExtensions.x-retrofit-path-name to avoid invalid Retrofit placeholders.
  • Update kotlin-client and server templates (OkHttp, Retrofit2, Ktor, WebClient/RestClient, Spring, Javalin, JAX‑RS, Vert.x, Misk, WireMock), including @JsonProperty names and annotation strings; fix API docs to use markdown‑safe texts and consistent parameter tables.
  • Add worst‑case OpenAPI spec (issue20502-kotlin-string-escaping.yaml), new echo_api samples for kotlin-jvm-okhttp and kotlin-jvm-spring-3-restclient, and tests covering $, backslashes, quotes, and comment markers. Update Misk configs to use petstore-kotlin-misk.yaml.

• Migration

  • For custom templates, use new lambdas: {{#lambda.escapeInNormalString}}...{{/lambda.escapeInNormalString}}, {{#lambda.escapeDollarInMultiline}}...{{/lambda.escapeDollarInMultiline}}, {{#lambda.escapeMarkdown}}...{{/lambda.escapeMarkdown}}, and {{#lambda.removeLineBreak}}...{{/lambda.removeLineBreak}}. Replace old keys like lambdaEscapeInNormalString / lambdaRemoveLineBreak. Regenerate code.
