Map object returns true regardless of key entries

See original GitHub issue

Copied from node console:

> const equal = require('fast-deep-equal');
undefined
> const mapA = new Map();
undefined
> const mapB = new Map();
undefined
> equal(mapA, mapB)
true
> mapA.set('a', 1);
Map { 'a' => 1 }
> equal(mapA, mapB)
true

My guess is because they both have the same key properties
