Title: BUG: `Series.map` fails when keys are tuples of different lengths (#7333)

Issue #7333 seems to be due to the new behaviour of `Series`, which will automatically create a MultiIndex out of the dict's keys when creating a series to map the values. The MultiIndex doesn't match the values for the shorter tuples, so they fail to map.

The fix is fairly simple, just pass the dict keys explicitly as the index.

I've added a test case for this specific issue, but could add some more if others can see related issues that would arise from this. I'll try to finalize the PR (squashing into a single commit, rebasing if necessary) tomorrow if it looks good.
