Lack of content types in patchNamespacedDeploymentCall

[kozjan]

Describe the bug
I am migrating from client version v19.0.0.
When using AppsV1Api::patchNamespacedDeploymentCall, I get an error:

io.kubernetes.client.openapi.ApiException: Message: 
HTTP response code: 415
HTTP response body: 
{
    "kind": "Status",
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "metadata": {},
    "status": "Failure",
    "message": "415: Unsupported Media Type",
    "reason": "UnsupportedMediaType",
    "details": {},
    "code": 415
}

I see that v19.0.0 defines more content types:

final String[] localVarContentTypes = {
    "application/json-patch+json", "application/merge-patch+json", "application/strategic-merge-patch+json", "application/apply-patch+yaml"
};

compared to v20.0.0:

final String[] localVarContentTypes = {
    "application/json"
};

Is there any reason for this?

Client Version
v20.0.0

Kubernetes Version
1.24

you should use PatchUtils

[oreissig]

you should use PatchUtils

This works as a workaround, but in fact this really is a bug in the client.

Looks related to #3106
