Improved DotUtils for better type handling

[petruki]

This pull request refactors and enhances the utility methods for extracting nested properties from maps in the DotUtils class, improving support for dot-notated paths and type safety. It also updates related tests to verify the new behaviors and fixes import usages for test fixtures. The most significant changes are grouped below:

DotUtils enhancements

• Refactored mapFrom, listFrom, and arrayFrom methods in DotUtils to support extraction from nested properties using dot-notated paths and improved type safety checks. Added a new typed variant listFrom(Map<String, Object> source, String property, Class<T> clazz) for extracting lists of a specific type. [1] [2]
• Introduced internal helper methods getObjectFromSource (for traversing nested map paths) and convertToObjectArray (for safely converting primitive arrays to Object[]).

PathCommon improvement

• Improved property extraction logic in PathCommon#getPropertyValue to fall back to map access when the source object is a Map and the property exists, increasing robustness for mixed data types.
