[REQ] [Bash] Allow non-JSON request body payloads

[mHejlesen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A generated bash client can only send JSON objects, not JSON arrays or ordinary string payloads.

Example:
Creating the following operation with a request body requiring a non-JSON string:

{
  "put": {
    "operationId": "bar",
    "parameters": [
    ],
    "requestBody": {
      "description": "String to be parsed",
      "content": {
        "application/json": {
          "schema": {
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      },
      "required": true
    }
  }
}

On the server I would like to receive the raw string:

 @PUT
 public void bar(String body) {
    System.out.println("Request body: " + body);
  }

At the time of writing my only option is to write the payload to a file or send it as JSON:

./client.sh --host http://localhost:8080 bar body==hello

The above results in the JSON blob:
{"body": "hello world"}

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to instead write:
./client.sh --host http://localhost:8080 bar --body=hello

And receive the string: hello

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have considered a file with the payload but it is very awkward and cumbersome to use.

agreed with that.

Is that something you can contribute? we can show you some good starting points.

Yes.
I have made a local change that achieves the described solution and I will make a PR.
