`WebClient` ignores `RequestOptions.setTimeout/setProxyOptions/setFollowRedirects`

[kristian]

Looking at WebClientBase only a selected subset of parameters of the RequestOptions gets passed onto the request which is created. Other options are ignored and the requestOptions variable is not further propgated.

Can be reproduced creating any web client using RequestOptions and setting a small timeout. The request will not timeout using the RequestOptions parameter, but only if .timeout() is explicitely set on the HttpRequest instance returned.

@vietj sorry, I just stumbled upon this old PR, and was surprised that it is still open / unmerged. Is this still an open issue? Thanks.
