Support of basicAuthentication in RestClient

[Forfend]

Can we add support for basicAuthentication to the RestClient? I found it really helpful to have this authentication method in RestTemplate, but it's not available for RestClient yet.

I'd love to contribute to this feature!

There is a BasicAuthenticationInterceptor that you can configure on RestClient, and the actual logic is encapsulated in HttpHeaders. So you can configure it globally by adding the interceptor, or per request via HttpHeaders.

Alright, closing in that case
