Migrate from Gson and org.json to Jackson

Replaced Gson and org.json usage across the codebase with a unified Jackson-based implementation through a shared `Json` utility. Updated all JSON serialization and deserialization logic (`GsonJsonMapper`, HTTP client, task persistence, command handling, tests) to use Jackson's `ObjectMapper`. Removed the outdated dependencies from `pom.xml` and verified symmetry in payload serialization.

 - Replace `new Gson().toJson(params)` at `http/WebModule.java:256` with `Json.write(params)`, reusing the shared mapper instead of allocating per request.
