Expose only ConnectionFactory#netty() to activate Netty

acogoluegnes · acogoluegnes · commit aed8d84cac3e · 2025-08-07T17:24:01.000+02:00
Having a method like useNetty() is not necessary as netty() activates Netty as well. Moreover useNetty() does not allow to set the EventLoopGroup, which is essential to configure when using Netty. References #1663
