concurrent-map key interface{} support

[ross-oreto]

Enhancement: If concurrent-map is supposed to behave the same as the plain map, then the allowed key types should be the same and the type map[interface{}]interface{} should be supported.

Hi @ross-oreto

You have a point there. There is obviously a trade-off between allowing arbitrary key types to the map's performance, and perhaps a usability issue as well (it may be annoying to type convert). Would be interesting to benchmark such an implementation. Would be cool if you could try to make this change on your own dev branch and benchmark it. If you end up doing so please update. Otherwise I'll leave this hanging for a while and close it.

Would it be more feasible to implement this now with support for generics?

@ross-oreto Hi, how did you handle with Marshal Json ? BenchmarkMarshalJson-4 300 5256855 ns/op 1950606 B/op 806 allocs/op I'm facing with Marshal Json error with interface{} type key. Got any idea or suggestion ?

I made changes locally necessary to use the interface key and ran those benchmarks, however I did not push my changes.
