Before this commit, a handler method returning a stream with a JSON content-type was producing a JSON object for single element streams or a JSON array for multiple elements streams. This kind of dynamic change of the output based on the number of elements was difficult to handle on client side and not consistent with Spring MVC behavior. With this commit, we achieve a more consistent behavior by using the Mono semantics to control this behavior. Mono (and Promise/Single) are serialized to JSON object and Flux (and Observable/Stream) are serialized to JSON array.
