REST Assured 4.0.0 is released

[Johan Haleby]

REST Assured 4.0.0 was just released. You can find the release notes here. Changes are:

* Fix duplication of content type in the Spring MockMvc module (thanks to Gemini Kim for pull request)
* Fixed issue with overwriting FailureConfig on settings other configs (#1127) (thanks to Victor Orlovsky for pull request)
* Added version range for the Groovy dependency for the osgi module to be between 2.4 and less than 2.5. This is because the API has changed in Groovy 2.5. (thanks to Rikske54 for pull request)
* Fixed so that using a ResponseSpecBuilder doesn't overwrite the configured config implicitly (issue 1128)
* Add Apache Johnzon object mapper support (thanks to Andriy Redko for pull request)
* Add support for MatcherConfig in RestAssuredMockMvcConfig (#1071) (thanks to Jurriaan Pruijs for pull request)
* Supported for logging when assertion errors thrown from internal matcher #1129 (thanks to Gemini Kim for pull request)
* Fixed so that there no longer are multiple versions of org.springframework:spring-web:jar, leading to inconsistent semantic behaviors (#1143) (thanks to HelloCoCooo for pull request)
