xmlunit 2.1.0 is the latest release for xmlunit.
Most of the xmlunit functionality used within spring-framework
was done through the xmlunit 1.x helper class
`org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLAssert`.
As of xmlunit 2.0.0 most of the XML comparison methods are done
through hamcrest matchers exposed by the xmlunit-matchers
library. In some cases during the migration, the matchers
had to be customized with custom `NodeMatcher` or
`DifferenceEvaluator` instances in order to keep the assertions
correct (they were performed with xmlunit 1.x previously).

By default, port 80 is used by the Reactor Netty client.
Issue: SPR-14477
The `WebClient` has a new exception hierarchy:
* `WebClientException` is the root of all exceptions thrown by the
`WebClient`
* `WebClientResponseException` are all exceptions associated with
specific HTTP response status codes
* `WebClientErrorException` and `WebServerErrorException` are
respectively for 4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes
`ResponseExtractor` implementations are adapted to optionally throw
exceptions if it's impossible to extract the relevant parts of the
response (e.g. extracting the response body if the response is a 404).
This commit also introduces `ResponseErrorHandler`s that take care of
the whole exception mapping infrastructure. Since
`WebClientResponseException`s provide the status, headers and response
body, we also need a dedicated mechanism to extract information from the
response body at that level.
The `BodyExtractors` are responsible for extracting that information
from the exception, given they are provided with all the information
they need; in that case, message decoders are required.
To convey all this new information downstream, the `WebClient` now wraps
the message converters and response error handler instances into a
dedicated `WebClientConfig` object.
