Remove ordering guarantees in the MapField documentation

This doesn't currently change the ordering in the implementation, but allows us to do so in the future.
We also need to change
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/csharp-generated#singular
which states "Finally, unlike Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, MapField<TKey, TValue> preserves insertion order of entries."
(We can just remove that sentence, I think.)
