[FR] Improvement: Change updateChildren parameter to Map<String, ?>

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Various builders (e.g., `Map.of`) and language features (e.g., Groovy and Kotlin inline maps) create `Map` instances whose `V` bound is more strict than `Object`. Currently, the `DatabaseRef#updateChildren[Async]` interface won't accept these instances because it is defined as accepting `Map`.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Since these method consume the map and do not modify it, they could be defined as `Map` to accept a map with any generic value type with no backwards incompatibility or other code changes.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Otherwise, passing in maps usually requires an explicit type declaration instead of `var` or an inline builder.

Search for the DatabaseRef#updateChildren and updateChildrenAsync entry points, then inspect their declarations and any related tests. Confirm that the methods accept Map without changing their existing update behavior, and run the relevant Java test suite.
