ConversionService does not support Map to Object [SPR-6476]

DefaultConversionService does not support converting a Map to an Object

The expectation is to return the original object unchanged (a no-op conversion).
Instead, null is returned.

@Test
public void testMapToObjectConversionBug() {
     final DefaultConversionService conversionService = new DefaultConversionService();
     final Map<Object, Object> raw = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
     raw.put("key", "value");
     final Object converted = conversionService.convert(raw, Object.class);
          Assert.assertSame(raw, converted);
}

Affects: 3.0 RC2

Note that collection-related conversions in general seem to be problematic.

According to my tests, this fortunately works in RC3 already.
