bevy_reflect: Fix deserialization with readers (#6894)

# Objective

Fixes #6891

## Solution

Replaces deserializing map keys as `&str` with deserializing them as `String`.

This bug seems to occur when using something like `File` or `BufReader` rather than bytes or a string directly (I only tested `File` and `BufReader` for `rmp-serde` and `serde_json`). This might be an issue with other `Read` impls as well (except `&[u8]` it seems).

We already had passing tests for Message Pack but none that use a `File` or `BufReader`. This PR also adds or modifies tests to check for this in the future.

This change was also based on [feedback](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4561#discussion_r957385136) I received in a previous PR.

---

## Changelog

- Fix bug where scene deserialization using certain readers could fail (e.g. `BufReader`, `File`, etc.)
