InfluxQLQueryService should use the application/json accept HTTP header to ensure that field results are mapped to the correct types

[j3r0lin]

Proposal:
InfluxQLQueryService should use json accept header to retain series points values original types.
Current behavior:
Current is 'application/csv', all values are read as string.

	@Headers({ "Accept:application/csv", "Content-Type:application/vnd.influxql" })
	@POST("query")
	Call<ResponseBody> query(
			@Body String query,
			@Nonnull @Query("db") String db,
			@Query("rp") String retentionPolicy,
			@Query("epoch") String epoch,
			@Header("Zap-Trace-Span") String zapTraceSpan
	);

Use case:
Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)?

Hi @j3r0lin,

Thank you for your suggestion and for using our client. To better address your concern regarding the data types not being correctly handled when querying with "Accept: application/csv", could you please specify which specific data types are causing issues?

Additionally, a runnable piece of code that demonstrates the problem would be incredibly helpful for us to understand and replicate the issue. This would allow us to provide a more accurate assessment and solution.

Looking forward to your response, and thank you once again for your valuable input.

Best Regards.

Currently, all returned data is in the format of application/csv, which causes the values returned by the query method to always be of string type, regardless of the measurement fields' types.
However, I expect the query to return values of type float when the field type is float.
Additionally, because I need to query measurements of different types using a single query method, I cannot utilize the type mapping functionality provided by the query method.
