Retrieving the response body as a List of POJOs fails with `RestClient` but passes with `WebTestClient`

[donalmurtagh]

Affects: spring 6.1.0-RC2 with spring boot 3.2.0-RC2 and JDK21

Description
I've attached a sample Spring Boot application with a single endpoint that returns the response as a wrapped List<Label>. When I retrieve the response with WebTestClient the list (correctly) contains Label instances, but when I retrieve the response with RestClient the list contains Map instances.

In both cases, I've used the same ParameterizedTypeReference when retrieving the response

Steps to Reproduce
demo.zip

The application contains 2 integration tests, one of which invokes the endpoint with a RestClient and the other uses WebTestClient. The latter test passes, but the former fails.

Likely caused by the fact contextClass should be null for client side use case (it is currently set to bodyClass).

@sdeleuze thanks for the fix. I've confirmed that this is resolved in the latest 6.1.0-SNAPSHOT
