DATAREST-864 - NestedEntitySerializer now handles Maps correctly.

Previously, NestedEntitySerializer failed to handle Maps correctly as the logic to convert the found values to nested resources tried to handle the values as is, not explicitly looking at the values instead.

We now use an explicit code path to turn the values into resources so that links pointing to other resources are rendered correctly.

Original pull request: #219.
