Brian Clozel bdd95f09a4 Polish WebClient metrics support
This commit improves the for Actuator Metrics in WebClient.

Unlike the server couterpart of WebFlux, using a `retry` operator on a
`WebClient` pipeline does resubscribes to the whole chain.
The previous implementation recorded start time at the time of pipeline
build phase, but outside of it. This doesn't work since retrying the
same pipeline doesn't update the recorded start time and the duration of
sequential calls are cumulative.

This is now fixed using the Reactor `Context`, since we're now recording
the start time at subscription time and record metrics on `onNext` and
`onError` signals.

Closes gh-12228

= Spring Boot - Actuator

Spring Boot Actuator includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and
manage your application when it's pushed to production. You can choose to manage and
monitor your application using HTTP or JMX endpoints. Auditing, health and metrics
gathering can be automatically applied to your application. The
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready[user guide]
covers the features in more detail.

== Enabling the Actuator
The simplest way to enable the features is to add a dependency to the
`spring-boot-starter-actuator` '`Starter`'. To add the actuator to a Maven-based project,
add the following '`Starter`' dependency:

[source,xml,indent=0]
----
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
----

For Gradle, use the following declaration:

[indent=0]
----
	dependencies {
		compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
	}
----

== Features
* **Endpoints** Actuator endpoints allow you to monitor and interact with your
  application. Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and you can also add
  your own. For example the `health` endpoint provides basic application health
  information. Run up a basic application and look at `/actuator/health`.
* **Metrics** Spring Boot Actuator provides dimensional metrics by integrating with
  https://micrometer.io[Micrometer].
* **Audit** Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that will publish events
  to an `AuditEventRepository`. Once Spring Security is in play it automatically publishes
  authentication events by default. This can be very useful for reporting, and also to
  implement a lock-out policy based on authentication failures.
