Description

I want to configure my application to use private key authentication in "client_authentication_methods". For this I need to set "token_endpoint_auth_method" to null, however the SDK does not allow for null values to be set due to @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL) on src/main/java/com/auth0/json/mgmt/client/Client.java. I agree that omitting fields if they are null is ok for most fields, however in this case it prevents clients from switching to the private key authentication method. As a suggestion, maybe adding another allowed value to token_endpoint_auth_method (apart from 'none', client_secret_post', 'client_secret_basic') to represent "null" would work.

Reproduction

1. Have a Machine to Machine client with client secret (token_endpoint_auth_method=client_secret_post)
2. Create a credential
3. Add the credential to the client via the SDK, using the update client method, while setting token_endpoint_auth_method=null
4. Observe error message: "token_endpoint_auth_method must be disabled (set to null) when migrating to client_authentication_methods."
