ProductPackaging fields can be a JSON map or a string.

Description

When searching for products, the error _TypeError (type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'Map<String, dynamic>' in type cast) occasionally occurs. Apparently, in the ProductPackage model, the fields 'shape' and 'material' can either be a JSON map or a string.

Expected behavior

In the response example 1 of the API documentation, 'shape', 'material' and 'recycling' appear twice, once as a string and once as a key-value pair. (Documentation)

    OpenFoodAPIConfiguration.userAgent = UserAgent(name: 'MyApp');
    OpenFoodAPIConfiguration.globalLanguages = <OpenFoodFactsLanguage>[
      OpenFoodFactsLanguage.ENGLISH
    ];
    OpenFoodAPIConfiguration.globalCountry = OpenFoodFactsCountry.GERMANY;

    ProductSearchQueryConfiguration searchQueryConfiguration =
        ProductSearchQueryConfiguration(
      parametersList: [
        SearchTerms(terms: [query])
      ],
      version: const ProductQueryVersion(2),
    );

    SearchResult result = await OpenFoodAPIClient.searchProducts(
        OpenFoodAPIConfiguration.globalUser, searchQueryConfiguration);
