Provide JsonConverter implementations

[ajtribick]

Kiota uses custom enum serialization that depends on the EnumMemberAttribute. Unfortunately the JsonStringEnumConverter provided in System.Text.Json does not use this attribute. In order to more easily integrate with non-Kiota uses of System.Text.Json, it would be useful to provide JsonConverter/JsonConverterFactory implementations that match the Kiota output.

Similarly the Date and Time types from Kiota abstractions also don't work directly with System.Text.Json.

Thanks for raising this @ajtribick

At the moment, the library provides mechanisms for deserializing/serializing with the helper methods as documented at the link below.

Any chance you can provide more information as to how the intergration with non Kiota uses would be hindered?
