Subject: [PATCH] Add `Object` type alias for JSON objects

This PR adds a convenient `Object` type alias to eliminate the need for
repeatedly writing `Map<String, Value>` when working with JSON objects.

Instead of:
```rust
let obj: Map<String, Value> = serde_json::from_str(json_str)?;
```

Users can now write:
```rust
use serde_json::Object;
let obj: Object = serde_json::from_str(json_str)?;
```
