map.get_bounds() fails for map with GeometryCollection
**Describe the bug**
If you add a GeoJson with a GeometryCollection to a Map, Map.get_bounds fails


**To Reproduce**

```
import folium

m = folium.Map(location=[39.949610, -75.150282], zoom_start=16)

geojson_data = {
    "geometries": [
        {
            "coordinates": [
                [
                    [-86.1570813, 39.7567006],
                    [-86.1570169, 39.7566965],
                    [-86.1570169, 39.7566429],
                    [-86.1566146, 39.7566181],
                    [-86.1566092, 39.7566676],
                    [-86.1565288, 39.7566965],
                    [-86.1567645, 39.7572846],
                    [-86.1568399, 39.7572821],
                    [-86.156904, 39.7574413],
                    [-86.1568345, 39.7574718],
                    [-86.1568131, 39.7585688],
                    [-86.1570223, 39.7585729],
                    [-86.1570227, 39.7585614],
                    [-86.1570809, 39.7567123],
                    [-86.1570813, 39.7567006],
                ]
            ],
            "type": "Polygon",
        },
    ],
    "type": "GeometryCollection",
}
folium.GeoJson(geojson_data).add_to(m)

m.get_bounds()
```

**Expected behavior**
I expected this to return a list of two points

**Environment (please complete the following information):**
 - Browser [e.g. chrome, firefox]
 - Jupyter Notebook or html files?
 - Python version (check it with `import sys; print(sys.version_info)`)
 sys.version_info(major=3, minor=9, micro=11, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
 - folium version (check it with `import folium; print(folium.__version__)`)
 0.12.1.post1
 - branca version (check it with `import branca; print(branca.__version__)`)
 0.5.0
