Document response.parsed_body in 7.1 release notes

Add notes for [#47144][] to the 7.1 Release Notes.

Additionally, in the time since that was merged, both Nokogiri and
Minitest have merged the PRs mentioned to integrate support for Ruby's
Pattern matching (https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/pull/2523
and https://github.com/minitest/minitest/pull/936, respectively).

This commit adds coverage for those new assertions, and incorporates
guidance into the release notes.

### Support pattern matching for JSON `response.parsed_body`
When `ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest` tests blocks invoke
`response.parsed_body` for JSON responses, their payloads will be available with
indifferent access. This enables integration with [Ruby's Pattern
Matching][pattern-matching], and built-in [Minitest support for pattern
matching][minitest-pattern-matching]:
```ruby
get "/posts.json"
response.content_type # => "application/json; charset=utf-8"
response.parsed_body.class # => Array
response.parsed_body # => [{"id"=>42, "title"=>"Title"},...
assert_pattern { response.parsed_body => [{ id: 42 }] }
get "/posts/42.json"
response.content_type # => "application/json; charset=utf-8"
response.parsed_body.class # => ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
response.parsed_body # => {"id"=>42, "title"=>"Title"}
assert_pattern { response.parsed_body => [{ title: /title/i }] }
```

### Extend `response.parsed_body` to parse HTML with Nokogiri
[Extend the `ActionDispatch::Testing` module][#47144] to support parsing the
value of an HTML `response.body` into a `Nokogiri::HTML5::Document` instance:
```ruby
get "/posts"
response.content_type # => "text/html; charset=utf-8"
response.parsed_body.class # => Nokogiri::HTML5::Document
response.parsed_body.to_html # => "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n..."
```
Newly added [Nokogiri support for pattern matching][nokogiri-pattern-matching],
along with built-in [Minitest support for pattern
matching][minitest-pattern-matching] presents opportunities to make test
assertions about the structure and content of the HTML response:
```ruby
get "/posts"
html = response.parsed_body # => <html>
# <head></head>
# <body>
# <main><h1>Some main content</h1></main>
# </body>
# </html>
assert_pattern { html.at("main") => { content: "Some main content" } }
assert_pattern { html.at("main") => { content: /content/ } }
assert_pattern { html.at("main") => { children: [{ name: "h1", content: /content/ }] } }
```
