[php-symfony] fix handling of endpoints with "text/plain" or "image/png" response type

[gturri]

(This is the update of #21258 that I pushed too soon the other day. This time I took more time to thoroughly think it before opening this PR)

PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
• Run the following to build the project and update samples:

  ./mvnw clean package || exit
  ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
  ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
  

  (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
  Commit all changed files.
  This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
  These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
  You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
• File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
• If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.

This fixes #21256 (and this subsequently fixes #13334, which is a subset of the other one).

This PR implements the 3 fixes that are required to be able to handle all the endpoints described in this OpenApi specification:

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: repro issue openapi-generator
  version: 0.0.1
paths:
  /get-bool:
    get:
      summary: get a boolean
      responses:
        "200":
          description: OK
          content:
            text/plain:
              schema:
                type: boolean
  /get-image:
    get:
      summary: get an image
      responses:
        "200":
          description: OK
          content:
            image/png:
              schema:
                type: string
                format: binary
  /get-string:
    get:
      summary: get a string
      responses:
        "200":
          description: OK
          content:
            text/plain:
              schema:
                type: string
  /get-int:
    get:
      summary: get an int
      responses:
        "200":
          description: OK
          content:
            text/plain:
              schema:
                type: integer
  /get-number:
    get:
      summary: get a number
      responses:
        "200":
          description: OK
          content:
            text/plain:
              schema:
                type: number

Namely this:

• ensures the generated method Controller.getOutputFormat returns a valid format when the user accepts */* (or when they don't specify any Accept header)
• does not try to call ->serialize($data, ...)`` when the 2nd argument is null` (it would crash (error 500)). Instead it uses a straightforward way to handle the serialization in those simple cases
• define relevant return types when the specification declares response with context text/plain

(nb: to make it easier to review I did a separate commit for each of those 3 fixes)

Ping technical committed, ie: @jebentier @dkarlovi @mandrean @jfastnacht @ybelenko @renepardon (and thanks for your work!)

thanks again for the pr

is it correct to say that you've been using these fixes/enhancements in your local environment/production for a while?

[gturri]

Yes, I'm using these fixes for my local development.
Not for a while and not in prod because I do not want to rely on a local fork that I would have to maintain. But yes in my local development I'm having issues with the latest version of Openapi Generator, and it works fine with those fixes.

[wing328]

ok. let's give it a try

[gturri]

thanks!
