Description

This is the sending equivalent of FINERACT-1220:

As is right now, with the fix from FINERACT-1220, LocalDate parameters such as a New Office openingDate cannot actually be sent. This was because in the PR for FINERACT-1220 I hard-coded GSON to serialize it as JSON array [yyyy,mm,dd] - as they are returns by Fineract. However that's actually wrong - see https://demo.fineract.dev/fineract-provider/api-docs/apiLive.htm#dates_and_numbers.

For the short term, I'm going to change the client to send LocalDate as "yyyy-mm-dd", with a test for Office openingDate proving that works.

FINERACT-1233 is about a possible more longer term solution.
