Sam Brannen 26de340102 Stop truncating Flux results to first element with @⁠CacheEvict
Prior to this commit, ReactiveCachingHandler.processCacheEvicts()
adapted every reactive return value via Mono.from(), which subscribes
for only the first element and cancels the upstream Publisher. For a
@⁠CacheEvict method that returns a Flux, this silently truncated the
returned sequence to its first element. In addition, the `#result`
variable in `condition` SpEL expressions was bound to only that first
emitted element.

To address that, this commit mirrors the existing multi-value handling
in processPutRequest(). When the adapter reports isMultiValue(), a side
Subscriber is subscribed via publish().refCount(2) that exhausts the
Flux and collects its values into a List for eviction, while the
original, unmodified Flux is returned to the caller. Consequently, the
`#result` variable in `condition` SpEL expressions for a Flux-returning
@⁠CacheEvict method is now the full List of emitted elements rather
than just the first element, making it consistent with @⁠Cacheable and
@⁠CachePut.

This commit also improves spr14235AdaptsToReactorFlux() in
CacheReproTests. Previously it exercised @⁠CacheEvict only with a
single-element Flux and never asserted on the returned sequence. Now it
uses a multi-element Flux and verifies that all elements are both
returned to the caller and visible to the `condition` expression.

Last but not least, this commit documents the aforementioned
`#result`/Flux semantics in @⁠CacheEvict's Javadoc and in the reference
manual, since both were previously invalid or incomplete for this
scenario.
