Description
WebClientAutoConfiguration provides a WebClient.Builder prototype bean for use where as RestClientAutoConfiguration offers a RestClientBuilderConfigurer. I'm wondering if we really need the configurer and how common it is to want to configure an existing builder.

Start by comparing WebClientAutoConfiguration's WebClient.Builder prototype bean with RestClientAutoConfiguration's RestClientBuilderConfigurer. Investigate how commonly an existing builder needs configuration; done means reaching and documenting a decision on whether the configurer should be deprecated.
