HalModelBuilder expose HAL-idiomatic API to set up representations. That includes embeds, previews and syntactic sugar around the inclusion of potentially empty collections as embeds.

* Deprecated existing `toCollectionModel` extension function using Kotlin's @Deprecated providing maximum ease for developers to migrate to new API.
* Added functions that create a full complement between ReactiveRepresentationModelAssemblerBuildDsl and SimpleReactiveRepresentationModelAssemblerBuildDsl on both `toModelAndAwait` and `toCollectionModelAndAwait`.

The ReactiveRepresentationModelAssembler and SimpleRepresentationModelAssembler both accept Flux inputs for entities. This change adds support for Kotlin co-routines to the same inputs.

We now make sure that BeanPostProcessors that are exposed consume their dependencies via ObjectFactory instances to avoid the need to prematurely trigger bean instantiation in the BeanPostProcessor detection phase. Marked the direct dependencies of the post processors as lazy, as the post processor only do actual work if beans of a particular type are available in the ApplicationContext. In case they aren't we don't even need to instantiate the downstream dependencies of the processors.
Avoid proxying of configuration classes where possible.

HypermediaConfigurationImportSelector is now ResourceLoaderAware to make sure it uses the class loader used to bootstrap the application context. This is important for both testing as well as custom classloader arrangements like Boot's DevTools. We now only include WebTestHateoasConfiguration if WebTestClient is on the classpath.
The configuration class has been extracted to not leak references to code tied to spring-test into production deployments. Added test cases to check both the inclusion and exclusion of the configuration classes based on the classpath arrangement.

Introduce `HypermediaWebClientConfigurer` with a simple API that registers hypermedia types via `WebClient.Builder`.
Deprecate `WebClientConfigurer`, leveraging the new solution.
Update reference documentation showing how to use it, with and without Spring Boot.
Create a HypermediaRestTemplateConfigurer bean registered as a Spring HATEOAS bean.
Update reference documentation to show how to use it directly and with Spring Boot via RestTemplateCustomizer.
Appears one test case exerted a false positive. Fixing it exposed a gap and how to properly configure an existing WebTestClient (which is now in the reference docs).
This commit adds String constants to IanaLinkRelations, so that IanaLinkRelations can be leveraged in places where compile time constants are required, such as Relation#itemRelation and Relation#collectionRelation.
Switched to a less complicated implementation of the interface method parameter annotation lookup by using Spring's ClassUtils.getInterfaceMethodIfPossible(…).
Simplified test cases to pure unit test on the link builder APIs. We don't need to fully execute a complete MVC/WebFlux request/response cycle to verify the link creation to pick up the parameter annotations from the interfaces.

When forming links, look at a controller class's interface definitions for possible Spring Web annotations.

A bit of Javadoc on the factory methods. Avoiding abbreviations in method names, shorter parameter names. More trailing whitespace removal.
Reformatting of method invocation in test cases.

This commit introduces ….of(…) factory methods on all RepresentationModel types as well as Link. RepresentationModel.of(…) transparently creates a EntityModel or CollectionModel depending on the value handed into the method.
Problem has been redesigned for immutability. Extensions to the payload body are now implemented by wrapping a either an object exposing the properties to add in turn or a plain Map.
Added infrastructure configuration to make sure that Problem instances returned from controller methods (even if wrapped into a ResponseEntity<?>) cause the ContentType header to be set to application/problem+json. HyperMediaMappingInformation now allows to customize the root domain type to signal serialization support for.
Few cleanups regarding the ObjectMapper setup in test cases.
