add more test coverage for new map functions and fixes some issues

the "what if dst already contains a key" part did not really work
plus the cxMapListDifference() did not fallback to a default allocator

really resolves #746

# Parsers

UCX offers parsers for two common formats: key/value [properties](properties.h.md) and [JSON](json.h.md).

Both parser APIs are implemented in a memory-efficient way.
Depending on the use case, the properties parser can avoid memory allocations completely, 
and the JSON parser minimizes allocations as good as possible.
Due to the nature of JSON, avoiding allocations altogether is, of course, not possible when operating on read-only memory.
