WebFlux security documentation incorrectly links to servlet classes

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/3.3/reference/web/spring-security.html#web.security.spring-webflux

Similar to Spring MVC applications, you can secure your WebFlux applications by adding the spring-boot-starter-security dependency. The default security configuration is implemented in ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration and UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration. ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration imports WebFluxSecurityConfiguration for web security and UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration configures authentication, which is also relevant in non-web applications.

UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration is a servlet-specific class. ReactiveUserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration is the reactive equivalent but it isn't always available in a non-web application as it's conditional on a reactive web application or a RSocketMessageHandler bean.

I want to work on this issue and update the documentation to correctly reference ReactiveUserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration instead of UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration for WebFlux security.

I will make sure that the explanation properly clarifies when ReactiveUserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration is available (i.e., in reactive web applications or when an RSocketMessageHandler bean is present).

Please assign this issue to me. I will submit a pull request with the necessary corrections.

Thank you
