[Bug]: new keyword for properties on generic IApiResponse breaks inheritance

[timosnel]

Describe the bug 🐞

Version 8 introduced a change in #1879 where the IApiResponse<out T> interface applies the new keyword on certain properties like StatusCode and ContentHeaders.

If you have a method that uses the non-generic IApiResponse as parameter, the base interface properties will be used which will then not be set. This is especially difficult when mocking these interfaces where we now have to setup both the properties of the generic and non-generic interface.

This is a breaking change which is not mentioned in the release notes of release 8.0.0. This works perfectly in version 7.2.2

Step to reproduce

Have a method that uses the non-generic IApiResponse:

public static bool IsProblemDetails(this IApiResponse apiResponse)
{
    Guard.Against.Null(apiResponse);

    var contentType = apiResponse.ContentHeaders?.ContentType?.MediaType;

    return
        apiResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.UnprocessableEntity &&
        contentType?.Equals(MediaTypeNames.Application.ProblemJson) == true;
}

Create a unit test that mocks the generic IApiResponse<out T> interface and calls the method:

[Fact]
public void IsProblemDetails_should_return_true_for_unprocessable_entity_with_content_type_problem_details()
{
    // Arrange
    var headers = new StringContent(string.Empty).Headers;
    headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue(MediaTypeNames.Application.ProblemJson);
    var mock = new Mock<IApiResponse<string>>();
    mock.SetupGet(x => x.IsSuccessStatusCode).Returns(false);
    mock.SetupGet(x => x.StatusCode).Returns(HttpStatusCode.UnprocessableEntity);
    mock.SetupGet(x => x.ContentHeaders).Returns(headers);
    var apiResponse = mock.Object;

    // Act
    var result = apiResponse.IsProblemDetails();

    // Assert
    Assert.True(result);
}

This results in null values for the non-generic interface, making the test fail:

Expected behavior

Setting properties on the generic interface should result in being able to use it as the non-generic interface (not breaking inheritance)
