   Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.

For example, the following two linked lists:

A: a1 → a2
↘
c1 → c2 → c3
↗
B: b1 → b2 → b3
begin to intersect at node c1.

思路：两条链表如果相交，那从交点开始，后面一定都是相等的
那如何求第一个交点呢？
时间复杂度：O(n)
要么返回空
有交点时，说明尾部是对齐的，要找到第一个交点，只要让长的链表先走len1-len2步，这里假设len1是那条长链，那么此时再同时走，相遇的第一个节点便是交点
