Add method retainedSlice to the DataBuffer, defaulting to using
DataBufferUtils for retain, but allowing for ByteBuf specific override.

We now use Flux.usingWhen() instead materialize/dematerialize operators
to reuse Reactor's resource closure.

Until usingWhen() accepts a BiFunction to consume error signals,
we need to map error signals outside of usingWhen which requires
re-wrapping of the ReactiveTransaction object.

Also, reuse the current TransactionContext to leave Transaction
creation/propagation entirely to ReactiveTransactionManager instead
of creating new TransactionContexts.

This commit defers flushing of the response until the first item is
emitted that needs to be written (and flushed) to the response.

This makes Spring MVC consistent with WebFlux in this regard.

ServerRequest:
 - awaitPrincipalOrNull is renamed to awaitPrincipal since
 there is no non-nullable variant

ServerResponse:
 - new BodyBuilder.sse() extension
 - BodyBuilder.bodyToServerSentEvents is deprecated in favor
   of sse().body()
 - BodyBuilder.bodyAndAwait(flow: Flow<T>) is renamed to
   bodyFlowAndAwait to avoid shadowing of
   BodyBuilder.bodyAndAwait(body: Any)
 - BodyBuilder.bodyToServerSentEventsAndAwait is removed,
   sse().bodyAndAwait() should be used instead
