This PR adds support for specifying the charset to use for encoding the credentials in
ExchangeFilterFunctions#basicAuthentication.I recently noticed that the existing method uses ISO-8859-1 to encode the credentials. In my app, this caused authentication failures when calling an API protected by Spring Security with a password that contains multi-byte characters. Spring Security uses UTF-8 by default to decode the credentials (see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/blob/ee35c2c9ccd9f57d279d6bdef61d21c750bef15e/web/src/main/java/org/springframework/security/web/authentication/www/BasicAuthenticationConverter.java#L49).
