MySQL - Entity with LocalDate: one-day bug

See original GitHub issue

Overview of the issue

Following this ticket: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/11734

In a MySQL application, when you save an entity with LocalDate, the result is not correct:

save with 2020/05/08
result: 2020/05/07

Motivation for or Use Case

The result should be correct.

Reproduce the error

I pushed this project to reproduce easily: https://github.com/pascalgrimaud/jhipster-burger-11740

git clone https://github.com/pascalgrimaud/jhipster-burger-11740
cd jhipster-burger-11740
npm ci
docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up -d
./mvnw

Then, go to Beer entity Create a new entity Check the drinkDate
