  `atomize_map_keys/1` converts a map with different keys 
  to a map with just atom keys. Works recursively for nested maps.
  Inspired by stackoverflow.com/questions/31990134

  ## Examples

      iex> Useful.atomize_map_keys(%{"name" => "alex", id: 1})
      %{id: 1, name: "alex"}

      iex> Useful.atomize_map_keys(%{"name" => "alex", data: %{ "age" => 17}})
      %{name: "alex", data: %{age: 17}}
