数组——merge-intervals

题目描述：

Given a collection of intervals, merge all overlapping intervals.

For example,
Given[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18],
return[1,6],[8,10],[15,18].

/**
 * Definition for an interval.
 * public class Interval {
 *     int start;
 *     int end;
 *     Interval() { start = 0; end = 0; }
 *     Interval(int s, int e) { start = s; end = e; }
 * }
