/**
 * Returns a new object, where each value corresponds to an array of items, from
 * `coll`, that returned the corresponding key. That is, the keys of the object
 * correspond to the values passed to the `iteratee` callback.
 *
 * Note: Since this function applies the `iteratee` to each item in parallel,
 * there is no guarantee that the `iteratee` functions will complete in order.
 * However, the values for each key in the `result` will be in the same order as
 * the original `coll`. For Objects, the values will roughly be in the order of
 * the original Objects' keys (but this can vary across JavaScript engines).

 * @param {Array|Iterable|Object} coll - A collection to iterate over.
 * @param {AsyncFunction} iteratee - An async function to apply to each item in
 * `coll`.
 * The iteratee should complete with a `key` to group the value under.
 * Invoked with (value, callback).
 * @param {Function} [callback] - A callback which is called when all `iteratee`
 * functions have finished, or an error occurs. Result is an `Object` whoses
 * properties are arrays of values which returned the corresponding key.
 * @example
 *
 * async.groupBy(['userId1', 'userId2', 'userId3'], function(userId, callback) {
 *     db.findById(userId, function(err, user) {
 *         if (err) return callback(err);
 *         return callback(null, user.age);
 *     });
 * }, function(err, result) {
 *     // result is object containing the userIds grouped by age
 *     // e.g. { 30: ['userId1', 'userId3'], 42: ['userId2']};
 * });
