Deserialization failure of CloudError

[nanw1103]

Describe the bug
When we call .deploymentOperator().beginCreateAsyncByArmTemplate(vmId, resGroup, armTemplate) to create a vm, we received a com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException.

Exception or Stack Trace
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of java.util.ArrayList (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('/subscriptions/b6d99780-0697-4975-aae9-24c6867a0dc1/resourceGroups/D-AZ-LMK-ICT-DEV-01-SIG/providers/Microsoft.Compute/galleries/ICT_BASE_IMAGES')

The Azure SDK in use when the error happens was the following, which is the latest one from the public Maven repo:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.azure/azure-client-runtime/1.7.14

The lib contains CloudError, and CloudErrorDeserializer, which is the place where it happens.

https://github.com/Azure/autorest-clientruntime-for-java/blob/master/azure-client-runtime/src/main/java/com/microsoft/azure/serializer/CloudErrorDeserializer.java

https://github.com/Azure/autorest-clientruntime-for-java/blob/master/azure-client-runtime/src/main/java/com/microsoft/azure/CloudError.java

I see the above files hasn't been updated for a few years. Is there something new added to Azure CloudError model?

It might be fixed by PR #710, but new release since the PR.

It is recommended to use new lib that uses azure-core, e.g. https://aka.ms/azsdk/java/mgmt
