The documentation currently states that Inversion of Control (IoC) and
Dependency Injection (DI) are the same thing. Although the two terms
are related, they are not synonymous: DI is a type of IoC.
I believe this change is important because using the terms
interchangeably really muddies the water about the meaning of these two
fundamental concepts of software frameworks.

This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links
into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain.
It notably homogenizes links to:
- IETF RFCs
- Java Community Process JSRs
- the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version)
- Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version)
- the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version)
This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a
Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather
than `docs-spring-boot`.
Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous
documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and
`modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.

The description is for WebFlux, but the link points to WebFlux unit
testing support.
This commit changes the link to point the the WebFlux chapter.

This commit documents that the "error" key in Micrometer Observations
should be preferred over the legacy "exception" one. Right now the
information is duplicated but we might remove the deprecated one in the
future.

Previously the documentation assumed that the readers knew how to use
the X-Forwarded-* headers. This commit documents details & examples
of how to use the X-Forwarded-* headers.
See gh-31491
This commit removes the "plain old class" bit of the documentation as
it may be confusing. The gist of it is that it must be a bean but not
annotated with `@Configuration` so the updated sentence states exactly
that.

This commit adds a warning in the reference guide to address the
use cases where users might be tempted to use several property
placeholder configurers.
