Issue:
panic: reflect: reflect.Value.Set using unaddressable value merging nested structures
Hi,

I want to do a deep merge where non-empty dst attributes are overwritten with non-empty src attributes values but slices are appended, is this possible?

Can someone help me understand why this does't work?
```
package main

import (
        "fmt"

        "github.com/imdario/mergo"
)

type My struct {
        Name  string
        Data  []int
        Other map[string]Other
}

type Other struct {
        Foo string
        Bar int
        Baz []string
        Faz map[string]string
}

func main() {
        dst := My{
                Data: []int{1, 2, 3},
                Name: "Dest",
                Other: map[string]Other{
                        "stuff": Other{
                                Foo: "bar",
                                Bar: 0,
                        },
                },
        }

        new := My{
                Data: []int{4, 5},
                Name: "Source",
                Other: map[string]Other{
                        "stuff": Other{
                                Foo: "bar",
                                Bar: 1,
                        },
                        "Morestuff": Other{
                                Foo: "foo",
                                Bar: 2,
                        },
                },
        }

        new2 := My{
                Name: "Source2",
                Other: map[string]Other{
                        "stuff": Other{
                                Foo: "bar",
                                Bar: 1,
                        },
                        "Morestuff": Other{
                                Foo: "foo",
                                Bar: 2,
                                Baz: []string{"something", "wrong"},
                                Faz: map[string]string{
                                        "some": "some2",
                                },
                        },
                },
        }

        fmt.Println(dst)
        fmt.Println(new)
        fmt.Println(new2)
        mergo.Merge(&dst, &new, mergo.WithAppendSlice, mergo.WithOverride)
        fmt.Println(dst)
        mergo.Merge(&dst, &new2, mergo.WithAppendSlice, mergo.WithOverride)
        fmt.Println(dst)
}
```

I get:
```
$ go run test.go
{Dest [1 2 3] map[stuff:{bar 0 [] map[]}]}
{Source [4 5] map[Morestuff:{foo 2 [] map[]} stuff:{bar 1 [] map[]}]}
{Source2 [] map[stuff:{bar 1 [] map[]} Morestuff:{foo 2 [something wrong] map[some:some2]}]}
{Source [1 2 3 4 5] map[Morestuff:{foo 2 [] map[]} stuff:{bar 1 [] map[]}]}

```

So, the first merge works but the second one fails.

Thanks

Pull request:
use src map if dst is nil and can't be set
As a struct field of type `map` is processed, and was not initialized as non-nil, don't try to set with a fresh new map and just adopt src value.
As I'm not sure about the potential side-effects, I've kept the original logic for cases where dst can be set. 

fix #90
