generator-jhipster: UUID id fields generate autoincrement attribute which fails application startup

Overview of the issue

For id fields having UUID type, the generator generates autoIncrement="true" in my configuration, even though during startup of such an application, an error is being produced:

This is produced in the liquibase entity changelog for adding the field

            <column name="uuid" type="${uuidType}" autoIncrement="true">
                <constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false"/>
            </column>

even though in master.xml a varchar field is produced.

    <property name="uuidType" value="varchar(36)" dbms="h2, mysql, mariadb"/>

So during startup, such an error is produced:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'liquibase' defined in class path resource [de/mt/dataview/config/LiquibaseConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is liquibase.exception.LiquibaseException: liquibase.exception.UnexpectedLiquibaseException: Property [autoIncrement] was not found for object type [liquibase.datatype.core.VarcharType]

Motivation for or Use Case

Application will not start up.

Suggest a Fix

I think, it is related to the reactive branch in this if-else statement:

https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/2dc5a892a8fbf216f78372058974c663078c822f/utils/field.js#L279-L284

where the liquibaseAutoIncrement value is statically set to true. Seems to be just not considered in d63b9d695573433977473e6503df7e7fc14704f3
