Prior to this commit, resolving an argument for a WebFlux controller
that's missing from the request and not required by the handler would
throw a NullPointerException in some cases.
This involves the conversion of the parameter (a `String` parameter type
might not trigger this behavior) and sending a `null` within a reactive
stream, which is illegal per the RS spec.
We now rely on a `Mono.justOrEmpty()` to handle those specific cases.

The parseLocale method also turns an empty locale into null now, compatible with parseLocaleString behavior.
Includes tests for parsing all available locales on the JVM, checking toString/toLanguageTag equality between parsed and original locale.

The ability to request to encode before `build()`, and more importantly
before expanding, allows stricter encoding to be applied to URI vars
and consequently to neutralize the effect of characters with reserved
meaning in a URI.

Includes specific fine-tuning of ProtobufHttpMessageConverter and JAXB2 based message converters, as well as revised javadoc for abstract base classes.
Issue: SPR-16995
Includes an efficient implementation of isEmpty(), not relying on a full entry count but rather backing out once a non-empty hash segment has been found.
Issue: SPR-16994
Includes a clarification of ThreadPoolExecutor configuration options and a note on early AsyncConfigurer initialization.

In SPR-16892, the `EncoderHttpMessageWriter` has been improved to write
`"Content-Length"` HTTP response headers if the response body is of type
`Mono` (i.e. the actual content length is easily accessible without
buffering a possibly large response body). That change was relying on
the fact that the server side is using a `ChannelSendOperator` to delay
the writing of the body until the first signal is received.
This strategy is not effective on the client side, since no such channel
operator is used for `WebClient`. This commit improves
`EncoderHttpMessageWriter` and delays, for `Mono` HTTP message bodies
only, the writing of the body so that we can write the
`"Content-Length"` header information once we've got the body resolved.
