Long story short, this was mainly used as a parameter or return type of various nimbus methods. It's utility behavior was fully delegated to other classes:
- It represented a client assertion/secret/cert, which some existing MSAL classes did as well
- It was used to add query parameters to an HTTP request, but
TokenRequestExecutor.addJWTBearerAssertionParams()now handles that - It was passed into some nimbus APIs that are no longer used

Maybe worth it to have an enum/constants for well known headers.

I was planning to do this in a follow up PR that removes various nimbus utility methods, since we'll then have the full picture of what constants and enums would be useful

This PR removes usage of several com.nimbusds.oauth2 classes, as per #909
Mainly HTTPRequest, HTTPResponse, and ClientAuthentication were removed, along with some related minor utils. These were essentially just used as a helper for making HTTP requests: managing query parameters, creating assertions for different credentials, etc.
To replace them, this PR does the following:
ConfidentialClientApplicationrelated to credentials and assertions, it now mainly deals with assertion/secret Strings, some logic was moved to other classes, and some methods that now had duplicate or unused codeTokenRequestExecutorrelated to credentials and assertions, simplifying and clarifying the behavior around query parameters and assertions/secrets that are needed in each scenario
