Previously, spring-restdocs-core had a dependency on spring-webmvc however it only used classes from spring-web. This commit moves the spring-webmvc dependency from spring-restdocs-core to spring-restdocs-mockmvc where it's needed. It's now in the runtime scope (rather than compile) as it's not needed at compile time but is needed at runtime by the MockMvc support in spring-test. Closes gh-273
Spring REST Docs 
Overview
The primary goal of this project is to make it easy to document RESTful services by combining content that's been hand-written using Asciidoctor with auto-generated examples produced with the Spring MVC Test framework. The result is intended to be an easy-to-read user guide, akin to GitHub's API documentation for example, rather than the fully automated, dense API documentation produced by tools like Swagger.
For a broader introduction see the Documenting RESTful APIs presentation. Both the slides and a video recording are available.
