Description

Could an @Order annotation be added to the gatewayRestClientCustomizer bean? This would give users the ability to add a custom RestClientCustomizer that overrides the requestFactory if needed. I know the ClientHttpRequestFactory bean can be defined, but there could be certain scenarios where the user may have a RestClientCustomizer from a library that sets the requestFactory. Example, a RestClientCustomizer that configures a proxy.

Research direction

Start in spring-cloud-gateway-server-mvc/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/gateway/server/mvc/GatewayServerMvcAutoConfiguration.java at the gatewayRestClientCustomizer bean linked in the issue. Review how the bean is declared and how RestClientCustomizer ordering affects requestFactory configuration. Done means the bean has the requested @Order annotation so a user or library customizer can override the request factory.
