Subject: [PATCH] fix: include examples when writing collection items in CLI
 OpenAPI import (#7613)

* feat: add support for examples in collection items

- Enhanced the processCollectionItems function to include examples from imported collection items.
- Added a new test case to verify that examples are correctly written to the output file during collection creation.

* fix: coerce response status to number in collection creation tests

Updated the test for createCollectionFromBrunoObject to ensure the response status is compared as a number, improving type consistency in assertions.
