Actually, it already does require cl-lib, because the following chain:
* map.el requires `seq'
* seq.el requires `cl-lib'

Indeed, in my patch `assoc-predicate' doesn't appear in map.el,
so it's not just a matter of replace:
assoc-predicate ---> cl-assoc

`assoc-predicate' appears in the implementation (subr.el)
and setter expansion (gv.el) of `alist-get'.

Neither subr.el nor gv.el are requiring `cl-lib'.
