## Issue
<!-- Please specify the ID of the issue this PR is addressing. For
example: "Closes #1234" or "Fixes #1234" -->
Closes #
## Change
<!-- Please describe the changes you made. -->
I noticed that in a lot of files there are duplicated checks for `null`
and not empty or `null` and not blank. Since there exist functions in
`Utils` class which do exactly that, I replaced all custom checks with
calls to such functions.
## General checklist
NB: I purposefully didn't commit formatting changes (i.e., `make lint`
and `make format`) because they'd change many lines in many files, much
more than what I changed in this PR, and that'd make PR difficult to
review. If you think I should do it, I'd gladly commit them.

## Change
- Added `maven-flatten-plugin` to `langchain4j-parent` and
`langchain4j-bom`
- Removed integration-specific dependencies from `langchain4j-parent`'s
`dependencyManagement` section and moved them to the modules where these
dependencies are used
- Explicitly added missing implicit dependencies
- Removed redundant `<maven.compiler.release>` for cassandra, infinispan
and opensearch modules
- Removed redundant license declarations and outdated properties

## Issue
Cleanup repeating dependencies in pom.xml. Better test assertions and
apidocs/javadoc generation.
## Change
Refactor project structure and remove unused test dependencies.
- Repeating test dependencies like `tinylog`, `awaitility` and others
were removed from various modules and consolidated in the parent module.
This reduction in clutter helps to streamline the testing process.
- A separate `kotlin` profile was created to manage Kotlin-related
configurations and dependencies.
- Upgraded versions of dependencies like `ai-mocks` and `wiremock` were
implemented. Moved to wiremock-standalone (shaded jar) to avoid
potential version conflicts with runtime classes.
- The test changes in `ChatRequestExtensionsTest.kt` partially migrated
from AssertJ to Kotest assertions.
- Updated Dokka plugin configuration

## Change
This pull request includes the following changes to improve project
dependency management:
- Removed unnecessary and redundant Netty dependencies and exclusions.
- Updated and reorganized dependency versions for consistency, including
new BOM imports for Azure SDK, Netty, and Reactor.
- Eliminated AWS SDK v1 dependencies, transitioning to
`software.amazon.awssdk` BOM for better compatibility and reduced
clutter.
- Removed redundant test dependencies like `assertj-core` and `mockito`
across modules, referring to the parent POM.
- Adjusted `kotlinx-coroutines-test` to use JVM-specific artifact and
standardized dependency version variables.
- Refined POM XML formatting for consistency and clarity (`mvn
spotless:apply`)
