Improved maps:with/2 and maps:without/2 algorithm
The current implementation is roughly O(N*M) where N is the number of items to be removed, and M is the number of items in the map. This does not include the cost of `maps:from_list` or `maps:to_list`. This leads to pretty horrifying execution times on large maps regardless of how many or few keys are to be removed. The new implementation is O(N) where N is the number of items to be removed. For each N there's the cost of removing a key from a map, and but in practice that turns out to be a vast improvement for all map sizes I tested The new maps:take/2 implementation similarly builds a list of keys and values by iterating only the list of desired keys, and then hands it off to maps:from_list. This turned out to be faster than N maps:put calls.
