When using the ConversionService to check and bridge to and from
reactive types we now generallly provide the full type information
available from method signatures. However that full type information
is not always necessary such as when we perform additional checks on
the generics of the reactive type (e.g. Mono<ResponseEntity>).
This allows us to switch to use DefaultFormattingConversionService
instead of GenericConversionService while also ensuring that the
CollectionToObjectConverter doesn't think it can convert List<?> to
any reactive type.
The ObjectToObjectConverter can also interfere because it is smart
enough to find the "from(Publisher<?>)" method on Flux and Mono.
To make up for that on the response side we now check if a type
is assignable to Publisher first in which case it is a simple cast.
In turn that means we don't need a PublisherToFluxConverter which can
be problematic in its own right because it can convert from Mono to
Flux which technically doesn't lose data but switches stream semantics.

HandlerAdapter's should always be able to provide a MethodParameter
which in turn ensures that HandlerResultHandler's have full type
information from method declarations.
This commit also introduces ResolvableMethod for use in tests to make
it easy to obtain MethodParameter return types.
Issue: #128
This commit adds a Decoder#decodeOne() method in order
to handle correctly the streaming versus one value
deserialization based on the type provided by the user.
For example, if a List parameter is provided in a controller
method, Jackson will be called once, while if the user provides
a Flux or an Observable parameter, Jackson will be called for
each element.
This commit replaces Reactive Streams converters for RxJava1 and
CompletableFuture with Reactor specific ones. The results in conversion
that preserves stream semantics, i.e. Mono vs Flux.
For example this is allowed:
Flux -> Observable
Mono -> Single
Mono -> CompletableFuture
This is not allowed:
Flux -> Single
Mono -> Observable
Flux -> CompletableFuture
As a result it is now possible to check through the ConversionService
if a target type to convert to is a stream of many or of one which is
useful for decoding purposes.
The commit also adds PublisherToFluxConverter to allow conversion from
raw Publisher to Flux. The reverse is not necessary since Flux is a
Publisher and it's a no-op conversion.
The DefaultWebSessionManager now uses Mono.defer to protect the call
to getSession from parsing session cookies immediately. This allows
pre-initializing the Mono<WebSession> upfront vs using a lock.
