Title: make collection constructors more uniform

fixes #4996 and #4871

change Set, IntSet, and PriorityQueue constructors to accept a single iterable

add an ObjectIdDict constructor accepting an iterable

now you can do this:

```
julia> pairs = [(1,2), (3,4)];

julia> ObjectIdDict(pairs)
{1=>2,3=>4}

julia> Dict(pairs)
[3=>4,1=>2]

julia> Collections.PriorityQueue(pairs)
[3=>4,1=>2]

julia> Set(pairs)
Set{(Int64,Int64)}([(1,2),(3,4)])
```
