NIFI-14009 - Move Toolkit Client code in its own nifi-toolkit-client module

Summary

NIFI-14009 - Move Toolkit Client code in its own nifi-toolkit-client module

Currently, the nifi-toolkit-cli module contains the code for a client interacting with the NiFi APIs. This code is used by the CLI itself but is also referenced in the the NiFi system test suite.

This JIRA is to move this code in its own module to have a cleaner separation. A new module nifi-toolkit-client will contain this code, and both the CLI and system test suite will depend on this new module.

Thanks for the refactoring @pvillard31, having a distinct module for the REST client classes provides a helpful separation from the components specific to CLI operation. +1 merging
