Add warning when bytes body is used with XML content type

[Copilot]

When bytes is used as a body type with an XML content type (e.g. application/xml), the payload is silently treated as raw binary data rather than structured XML. This adds a warning diagnostic at the @typespec/http level so all downstream emitters (OpenAPI3, AutoRest, etc.) surface the issue.

// Now emits @typespec/http/bytes-xml-body warning
@post op upload(@header contentType: "application/xml", @body body: bytes): void;

• packages/http/src/lib.ts — New bytes-xml-body warning diagnostic
• packages/http/src/payload.ts — Detection in resolveHttpPayload() after body resolution; matches XML content types via regex (application/xml, text/xml, application/*+xml); walks scalar inheritance chain to catch types extending bytes
• packages/http/test/parameters.test.ts — Tests for application/xml, text/xml, application/soap+xml, response bodies, and negative case (application/octet-stream)
