Changing putOperationWithJson to postOperationWithJson

-Modified responseEntity<String> to reesponseEntity<Object>
-Changed behaviour of sync to use new repsonses and removed JSON parsing
-Updated tests to use new responsess
-Tests have been updated and added jira to docs
-Added messageConverters to RestTemplate to support plain text with
ResponseEntity<Object>
-Added docker log output for cps & dmi containers during CSIT teardown
-Moved reponse conversion from service into DMIModelOperations class
-Added response handling test (edgecases)
-Updated response request body for passthrough-running CSIT test to pass
