RestDocumentationRequestBuilders' methods for multipart file uploads are not aligned with MockMvc's MockMvcRequestBuilders

[marcgemis]

The documentation under https://docs.spring.io/spring-restdocs/docs/2.0.5.RELEASE/reference/html5/#documenting-your-api-request-parts for MockMvc has
this.mockMvc.perform(multipart("/upload").file("file", "example".getBytes()))

I think this should be
this.mockMvc.perform(fileUpload("/upload").file("file", "example".getBytes()))

as fileUpload is defined in RestDocumentationRequestBuilders and multipart in MockMvcRequestBuilders

Thanks, @marcgemis. Rather than changing the docs, I think that RestDocumentationRequestBuilders should be updated so that it offers multipart methods. The existing fileUpload methods should probably be deprecated as well to keep things closely aligned with MockMvcRequestBuilders.

Please note that in https://docs.spring.io/spring-restdocs/docs/2.0.5.RELEASE/reference/html5/#documenting-your-api-request-parts-payloads-body "fileUpload" is used in the documentation. This will have to be updated when "multipart" became the new standard.
