Before this change the write Publisher was saved and Mono.empty()
returned from the write metohd which did not properly implement
the write contract since no writing ("consuming") was done.
This can be a problem in some cases. For example the request may appear
to succeed even if the publisher produces an error later when
subscribed to later after request handling completes.
This commit introduces a writeHandler function in the mock request and
response. By default it "writes" by consuming the content immediately,
which allows it to return a Mono<Void> that properly reflects when
writing is done, and it also caches the data so it may be replayed
later for test assertions.
For streaming scenario a custom writeHandler may be registered which
allows the custom handling to determine how long to stream before
cancelling so request handling may complete.

This commit introduces JSON streaming support which
consists of serializing HTTP request with
application/stream+json media type as line delimited JSON.
It also optimize Flux serialization for application/json by
using flux.collectList() and a single Jackson invocation
instead of one call per element previous strategy.
This change result in a x4 throughput improvement
for collection with a lot of small elements.
Issues: SPR-15095, SPR-15104
The base URI is ignored for requests that include a host.
WebClient exposes UriBuilder (rather than UriBuilderFactory) for
per-request URI building based on the base URI. That provides
full control to add or replace components of the base URI.
Leave only one static, no-arg build() method for access to a Builder.
URI-related preferences are now exposed on the builder itself.
Improve Javadoc with base URI examples.
