43. Multiply Strings (Medium)

Given two numbers represented as strings, return multiplication of the numbers as a string.

Note:
The numbers can be arbitrarily large and are non-negative.
Converting the input string to integer is NOT allowed.
You should NOT use internal library such as BigInteger.
