Add static factory methods to WebClientAdapter

Ideally one would pass WebClient directly to HttpServiceProxyFactory,
but two need to remain decoupled. This commit adds static, shortcut
methods to WebClientAdapter to create an HttpServiceProxyFactory, thus
eliminating the step to wrap the WebClient.
