ProviderStateGenerator only supports path matching via IntegrationJson (FFI)

Relates to : #447

Upon investigating https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/pull/1223, the following use cases stopped working - possibly they were only working because of the presence of the type matcher which masked the problem:

query strings:

2024-06-21T03:55:39.588275Z DEBUG tokio-runtime-worker pact_matching: --> Mismatches: [QueryMismatch { parameter: "accountNumber", expected: "{\"expression\":\"${accountNumber}\",\"value\":\"100\"}", actual: "100", mismatch: "Expected query parameter 'accountNumber' with value '{\"expression\":\"${accountNumber}\",\"value\":\"100\"}' but was '100'" }]
2024-06-21T03:55:39.588472Z DEBUG tokio-runtime-worker pact_mock_server::hyper_server: Request did not match: Request did not match - HTTP Request ( method: GET, path: /accounts/search/findOneByAccountNumberId, query: Some({"accountNumber": ["{\"expression\":\"${accountNumber}\",\"value\":\"100\"}"]}), headers: Some({"Accept": ["application/hal+json"]}), body: Missing )    0) Expected query parameter 'accountNumber' with value '{"expression":"${accountNumber}","value":"100"}' but was '100'

Bodies:

2024-06-21T03:57:04.428658Z DEBUG tokio-runtime-worker pact_matching: --> Mismatches: [BodyMismatch { path: "$.accountNumber", expected: Some(b"{\"expression\":\"${accountNumber}\",\"value\":100}"), actual: Some(b"100"), mismatch: "Type mismatch: Expected 100 (Integer) to be the same type as {\"expression\":\"${accountNumber}\",\"value\":100} (Object)" }]
2024-06-21T03:57:04.428951Z DEBUG tokio-runtime-worker pact_mock_server::hyper_server: Request did not match: Request did not match - HTTP Request ( method: POST, path: /accounts/search/findOneByAccountNumberIdInBody, query: None, headers: Some({"Content-Type": ["application/json"], "Accept": ["application/hal+json"]}), body: Present(63 bytes, application/json) )    0) $.accountNumber -> Type mismatch: Expected 100 (Integer) to be the same type as {"expression":"${accountNumber}","value":100} (Object)

And presumably headers (I don’t have a test for this).

The only one that works is when it's used in a path expression.

It looks like the expression is not being set properly, as you can see the JSON format instead of the expected value.

Further investigation needed to identify the source of the problem, we may also need to update https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/blob/master/rust/pact_ffi/IntegrationJson.md to clarify the use of the FFI interop format.
