This commit handles "empty" cases for `ResponseEntity` controller
handler return types when wrapped with a `java.util.Optional` in Spring
MVC or a single `Publisher` like `Mono`.
Given the following example for Spring MVC:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Optional<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Optional<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
If the resulting `Optional` is empty, Spring MVC will infer a
`ResponseEntity` with an empty body and a 404 HTTP response status.
The same reasoning is applied to Spring WebFlux with Publisher types:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Mono<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Mono<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
This feature is only valid for `HttpEntity` return types and does not
apply to `@ResponseBody` controller handlers.
