[proposal] Nested Map.from_struct/1

[Weslei Juan Novaes Pereira]

The current Map.from_struct/1 works only in the first level of a struct. It would be great if it's possible to handle nested structs without writing helpers. Maybe the default behavior would keep the same, but just add an option to recursively converts the struct, like

`Map.from_struct(instance, nested: true)` or something like this.

This is a small function that can be part of your application or a package, we do not plan to add it to the standard library at the moment. Thank you. :)
