erts: Optimize maps:merge
to be better at reusing entire hashmap sub-trees. Sub-tree reuse is detected in three cases: 1. The sub-tree top node does not exist at all in the other map. Already implemented before this commit. 2. The exact same sub-tree exist in both maps. Must calculate nr of keys in tree to get total size right. 3. We detect that a sub-tree only contains stuff from one of the maps. There is still one case we don't detect. If A and B leafs have equal keys we could also compare the values. If values are equal, further node reuse could propagate up toward the root (by 'mix'==0). The downside would be potentially expensive value comparisons.
