WebClientMetricsAutoConfiguration relies on ResTemplateMetricsAutoConfiguration #14269
Description
Right now, WebClientMetricsAutoConfiguration relies on a Filter created by RestTemplateMetricsAutoConfiguration.
RestTemplate is always present when WebClient is present (as the former is in spring-web and the latter in spring-webflux that as a compile dependency on spring-web). However, it makes a bit hard to figure out what the scope of the filter is so it would be better to have a first class concept for this.
Looking at WebClientMetricsAutoConfiguration it probably should be in the client package, which would allow to have a single auto-configuration for both use cases.
Also, since the introduction of WebClient metrics, the message is wrong as it refers to RestTemplate which kinda proves the point the scope is currently hard to track.
