(see #1882 for background)

Currently Map type is mapped, during deserialization, into concrete type to use, default being LinkedHashMap. This works fine in general but in specific case of enum type being used for key, it seems useful to instead map it into EnumMap: this is more efficient type to use and likely what users would prefer (or at very least not mind).
Users may still specify more specific type, like concrete type, to avoid this mapping; it only applies to general references to Map type.

Since this does change observed behavior slightly, it needs to go in next minor or major release: given that 2.9 is the last minor release (very likely) from 2.x, this means 3.0.

Note: this is potentially backwards-compatibility breaking change, since EnumMap and EnumSet can not contain nulls. Will consider that fine for 3.x, but need to keep in mind just inc ase.
