[General] Remove defunct global property withXml from generator, docs, maven & gradle plugin (#18568)
* Mention that Golang generator also supports XML annotations

Looking at src/main/resources/go/model_simple.mustache and
src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages/GoClientCodegen.java
the GoLang seems to cater for withXml=true

* Fix maven plugin config description for `withXml`

* Add basic test for global withXml setting

* Use global withXml setting if not configured in ConfigOptions

Resolves #3839 and #5764

* Don't generate metadata or other files when only Models are tested

* Reformat table for readability

* Remove global property `withXml` from generator and docs

* Move WITH_XML constant out of system constants block

Currently there is only a single reference to this value in the whole
codebase (GoClientOptionsProvider). Maybe we should re-think how this
file is organised (i.e. provide a clearer split / mapping / understanding
what are system properties vs. global properties vs. configOptions and
where to put them).

* Remove global option `withXml` from Maven plugin (Breaking change)

This is a "soft" breaking change: Plugin will no longer execute if
user have this option – which is good, b/c it never worked as expected.
We may want to hint this in the 8.0 release notes.

* Remove global property `withXml` from Gradle plugin (Breaking change)

This is a "soft" breaking change: Plugin will no longer execute if
user have this option – which is good, b/c it never worked as expected.
We may want to hint this in the 8.0 release notes, so they can add it
to the `configOptions` map if required, or simply delete it

* Update samples to reflect removed `withXml` property

* Move `withXml` option into ConfigOptions for Java Microprofile sample

* Remove unused local vars and parameters

* Avoid repetition using fluent assertions

* Remove extraneous debug output

## Note on Global Property declaration
There are _two ways_ to provide selective generation properties or "global properties". First, these can be passed as Java System Properties. Second, these can be passed via the global property tooling option (`--global-property` in CLI and `globalProperty` in Maven and Gradle configurations). This differentiation is new in version 5.0 with the removal of the `-D` CLI option and the renaming of `systemProperties`. If you're upgrading to OpenAPI Generator 5.0+
While the examples seen in [Customization](./customization.md) use the Java System Property syntax, keep in mind that the following are equivalent:
```sh
java -Dmodels {jar} generate {opts}
```
and
```sh
java {jar} generate {opts} --global-property=models
```
Why the two differing ways to provide the same properties? We previously accepted a `-D` tooling option which resembled Java System Property declaration. In older versions of OpenAPI Generator, the option modified the SystemProperties collection directly and was truly a "system property". This option changed during the 4.x release in an effort to make OpenAPI Generator thread-safe and isolate its configuration via thread locals. We no longer mutate System Properties. In the 4.x release and earlier, specifying the tooling `-D` option with system properties intended for other tools like swagger-parser rather than passing them as true Java System Properties would lead to unexpected behavior for the user; if our tool set the system property _after_ invoking certain code, it would seem to the user like Java System Properties weren't working!
