Description

I'd like to use `response>>` or `response>` as my response type for `HGETALL`, but the adapter is hardcoded to only support the standard library associative containers:

https://github.com/boostorg/redis/blob/6f17663165a8db3cbac8bf3065355b420032fc21/include/boost/redis/adapter/detail/adapters.hpp#L487-L530

It's also missing the new ones from C++23 (ie. `flat_map`). It would ideally support anything with a "map-like" interface.

Research direction

Start in include/boost/redis/adapter/detail/adapters.hpp around lines 487-530 and inspect how HGETALL responses are restricted to standard associative containers. Define the supported map-like shape from the requested vector>, absl::flat_hash_map, and C++23 flat_map examples; done means these response types are accepted instead of only the currently hardcoded containers.
