WebClient.close() does not return a Future or wait for resources to be released

Context

Call to WebClient.close() does not wait for resources to be released.
Method signature was changed so that it returns a Future<Void> here #2197
But later was reverted here 8dda3de
I'd expect .close() to either return the Future<Void>, or (less ideally) block until the future finishes before returning.

Do you have a reproducer?

@vietj can you give some context about why the futurization change was reverted?

[vietj]

I think because it was a breaking change, but well

[mcanalesmayo]

@tsegismont @vietj so is there any plan to change it again to return the future?

[vietj]

yes I think we should
