This commit introduces client-side request attributes, similar to those
found on the server-side. The attributes can be used, for instance, for
passing on request-specific information to a globally registered
ExchangeFilterFunction.
The client request builder, as well as WebClient.RequestHeadersSpec and
WebTestClient.RequestHeaderSpec, add methods for adding a single
attribute, as well as manipulating the entire attributes map.
The client request itself adds a accessor for the (immutable) attributes
map.
This commit also introduces a new variant of the basic authentication
filter in ExchangeFilterFunctions. This variant takes the username and
password from well-known attributes.

This commit changes ServerRequest.queryParams from returning a
List<String> given a String name, to returning a
MultiValueMap<String, String>, which gives more flexibility.
This commit uses the newly introduced `PathContainer` and `RequestPath`
support in the functional web framework. It exposes the path container
as property in `ServerRequest`, and uses that in the path-based
`RequestPredicates`.
This commits extends nullability declarations to the field level, formalizing the interaction between methods and their underlying fields and therefore avoiding any nullability mismatch.

The cloneBuilder helps to avoid the issue in the comment of the ticket.
Rather than creating the WebClient to then obtain a fresh builder which
causes connector instantiation, we now use the cloneBuilder

This commit introduces 2 new public methods in HttpHeaders in order
to leverage Java 8 ZonedDateTime in addition to the existing long
(with GMT time zone implied) variants:
- ZonedDateTime getFirstZonedDateTime(String headerName)
- void setZonedDateTime(String headerName, ZonedDateTime date)
This commit also leverages Java 8 thread-safe DateTimeFormatter for
HttpHeader implementation instead of SimpleDateFormat. As a consequence
of the usage of DateTimeFormatter.RFC_1123_DATE_TIME, HTTP date header
serialization could change slightly for single digit days from for
example "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT" to
"Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT".

This commit replaces the WebClient.filter method with
WebClient.Builder.filter. The reason for this change is that filters
added via WebClient.filter would be applied in the opposite order of
their declaration, due to the compositional nature of the method,
combined with the immutable nature of the WebClient.
WebClient.Builder.filter does keep the order of the filters, as
registered.
Furthermore, this commit introduces a WebClient.mutate() method,
returning a WebClient.Builder. This method allow to add/remove filters
and other defaults from a given WebClient.

This commit introduces LocaleContextResolver interface, which is used
at ServerWebExchange level to resolve Locale, TimeZone and other i18n
related informations.
It follows Spring MVC locale resolution patterns with a few differences:
- Only LocaleContextResolver is supported since LocaleResolver is less
flexible
- Support is implemented in the org.springframework.web.server.i18n
package of spring-web module rather than in spring-webflux in order
to be able to leverage it at ServerWebExchange level
2 implementations are provided:
- FixedLocaleContextResolver
- AcceptHeaderLocaleContextResolver
It can be configured with both functional or annotation-based APIs.

This commit changes the use of `ResolvableType` to
`ParameterizedTypeReference` in all public-facing WebFlux APIs. This
change removes the necessity for providing the parameterized type
information twice: once for creating the `ResolvableType`, and once for
specifying a `BodyExtractor`.
Issue: SPR-15636
This commit also removes nullability from two common spots: ResolvableType.getType() and TargetSource.getTarget(), both of which are never effectively null with any regular implementation. For such scenarios, a non-null empty type/target is the cleaner contract.

Beyond just formally declaring the current behavior, this revision actually enforces non-null behavior in selected signatures now, not tolerating null values anymore when not explicitly documented. It also changes some utility methods with historic null-in/null-out tolerance towards enforced non-null return values, making them a proper citizen in non-null assignments.
Some issues are left as to-do: in particular a thorough revision of spring-test, and a few tests with unclear failures (ignored as "TODO: NULLABLE") to be sorted out in a follow-up commit.

This commit replaces the UnaryOperatory<ServerWebExchange> inputs with
Function<ServerWebExchange, ServerWebExchange> instead. Unfortunately
the composability methods inherited from Function don't work in terms
of generics for composing multiple UnaryOperator's.
Issue: SPR-15599
This commit introduces 2 new @Nullable and @NonNullApi
annotations that leverage JSR 305 (dormant but available via
Findbugs jsr305 dependency and already used by libraries
like OkHttp) meta-annotations to specify explicitly
null-safety of Spring Framework parameters and return values.
In order to avoid adding too much annotations, the
default is set at package level with @NonNullApi and
@Nullable annotations are added when needed at parameter or
return value level. These annotations are intended to be used
on Spring Framework itself but also by other Spring projects.
@Nullable annotations have been introduced based on Javadoc
and search of patterns like "return null;". It is expected that
nullability of Spring Framework API will be polished with
complementary commits.
In practice, this will make the whole Spring Framework API
null-safe for Kotlin projects (when KT-10942 will be fixed)
since Kotlin will be able to leverage these annotations to
know if a parameter or a return value is nullable or not. But
this is also useful for Java developers as well since IntelliJ
IDEA, for example, also understands these annotations to
generate warnings when unsafe nullable usages are detected.

As a follow-up to the recent commit 246e72 some slight modifications
to MockServerExchangeMutator (renamed to ExchnageMutatorWebFilter).
Aside from the name change, the main difference is that "per request"
exchange processors are now simply applied via WebTestClient#filter(..).
