UIRepeat and UIData supports Map

[glassfishrobot]

In reference to #1103 Bauke Scholtz commented the following:

Would be even more cool if it transparently recognizes Map like c:forEach so we don't need value="#{bean.map.entrySet()}" everytime.

Splitting this off from 1103; it's strongly related but a different (additional) type.

When discussing support for Iterable, the wish for Map also came up.

For this change the spec document needs to be updated, specifically section 4.1.3.2.

This section currently (in the 2.3 branch) contains the following text:

The current value identified by the value property is normally of type DataModel. [P1-start-uidataModel]However, a DataModel wrapper instance must automatically be provided by the JSF implementation if the current value is of one of the following types:
java.util.List
Array of java.util.Object
java.sql.ResultSet (which therefore also supports javax.sql.RowSet) 
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result
java.util.Collection
java.lang.Iterable
Any other Java object is wrapped by a DataModel instance with a single row.[P1-end]

The updated text in section 4.1.3.2 after this update would be the following:

java.util.List

java.sql.ResultSet (which therefore also supports javax.sql.RowSet) 
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result
java.util.Collection
java.lang.Iterable
java.util.Map (uses the wrapper for java.lang.Iterable by providing access to java.util.Map#entrySet())
Any other Java object is wrapped by a DataModel instance with a single row.[P1-end]
