BidirectionalMap.set updated the forward map but never removed the
reverse mapping of the key's previous value. After map.set('a', 1)
followed by map.set('a', 2), a reverse lookup getKey(1) still returned
'a' even though 'a' now maps to 2.
Delete the previous value's reverse entry when an existing key is
reassigned. Added a regression test covering key updates.

BidirectionalMap.setupdates the forward map (_m1) and the reverse map (_m2), but when an existing key is reassigned it never removes the reverse entry for the key's previous value. That leaves a stale reverse mapping.Repro:
getKey(1)still resolves to'a'even though'a'now maps to2. This can surface wherever a key's value is updated, for example the marker decorations service (IMarkerto decoration id) when a marker's decoration id changes.The fix deletes the previous value's reverse entry when an existing key is reassigned. True one-to-one behavior is preserved, and a regression test covering key updates is added.
