19: Remove Nth Node From End of List
https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/remove-nth-node-from-end-of-list/

Given a linked list, remove the nth node from the end of list and return its head.

For example,

   Given linked list: 1->2->3->4->5, and n = 2.

   After removing the second node from the end, the linked list becomes 1->2->3->5.
Note:
Given n will always be valid.
Try to do this in one pass.

===Comments by Dabay===
那种两个指针同时走的解法，应该是不符合题意的。人家要求的一次pass，你两个指针同时走，实际上是2次pass了。
思路一：
    遍历的时候，把每个node放到一个栈中，然后更加n弹出到相应的位置删除节点。空间复杂度为ListNode的长度。
思路二：
    用一个大小为n+1的队列来记录指针之前的n个节点。当指针到最后的时候，删除队列中的第二元素。空间复杂度为n+1。
