Improve MessageChannelPartitionHandler::receiveReplies

1. Message payload not always be `Set`, if you return payload directly, you will see tests failed:
```
[main] ERROR org.springframework.batch.core.step.AbstractStep - Encountered an error executing step step1-manager in job job1
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to class java.util.Set (java.util.ArrayList and java.util.Set are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

```

2. No need to create a new `HashSet` if payload is `Set` since no modifications applied to it.
