Jay Modi b234644035 Enforce Content-Type requirement on the rest layer and remove deprecated methods (#23146)
This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.

While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

==== `setSource` methods require XContentType
Previously the `setSource` methods and other methods that accepted byte/string representations of
an object source did not require the XContentType to be specified. The auto-detection of the content
type is no longer used, so these methods now require the XContentType as an additional argument when
providing the source in bytes or as a string.
