Introduce support for HtmlUnit in Spring MVC Test

This commit introduces integration between MockMvc and HtmlUnit, thus simplifying end-to-end testing when using HTML-based views and enabling developers to do the following.

• Easily test HTML pages using tools such as HtmlUnit, WebDriver, & Geb without the need to deploy to a Servlet container
• Test JavaScript within pages
• Optionally test using mock services to speed up testing
• Share logic between in-container, end-to-end tests and out-of-container integration tests
