Make ServerVersion constructible by JacksonJsonHandler.

Client.getServerVersion() reaches JacksonJsonHandler.decode(), which calls ObjectMapper.readValue for ServerVersion.class. ServerVersion has only Lombok’s generated all-arguments constructor. The build does not enable constructor parameter names, and no constructor metadata is configured. A normal /version response can therefore fail to deserialize.

Add an explicit Jackson creator with property names, or equivalent constructor metadata. The current InstanceTest does not exercise this path because it calls setUp(), not setUpJacksonClient(). Add a Jackson-focused test that decodes a version response and asserts commitSha, commitDate, and pkgVersion.

Review comment at @src/main/java/com/meilisearch/sdk/model/ServerVersion.java at
line 7:
Make ServerVersion deserializable by Jackson by adding an explicit creator
constructor with JsonProperty names for commitSha, commitDate, and pkgVersion,
replacing the Lombok-only constructor. Add a Jackson-focused test using
setUpJacksonClient() that decodes a version response and asserts all three
fields.
