Switch to TEMPLATE_AND_VALUES as the default mode

DefaultUriBuilderFactory now uses EncodingMode.TEMPLATE_AND_VALUES by
default. However the RestTemplate explicitly sets it to the previous
setting EncodingMode.URI_COMPONENTS, so this affects mainly the
WebClient and any direct use of DefaultUriBuilderFactory to configure
either the RestTemplate or the WebClient.
