As discussed in gh-11872, `TestRestTemplate` constructor variants taking
a `RestTemplate` argument are confusing since the main goal of that
class is to mutate `RestTemplate`.

This commit removes all those constructor variants and replaces them
with `RestTemplateBuilder` arguments when possible.

Previously, the host on Jetty's connector was configured using the
host address of the InetSocketAddress. This could result in reverse
name resolution that could cause Jetty to bind to a different IP
address than was configured.

This commit updates the configuration code to use the host string
when specifically does not perform reverse name resolution.
