Description of the PR

We are using java.time.Instant as Date(Time) type for all our backend services. Currently we achieve this by using a custom dateLibrary and custom typeMappings and importMappings. This is suboptimal however.

java.time.Instant is a valid type for code generation if you are using UTC timestamps only. Hence, this PR.
