a typical variant of LCS algo.
the key point here is, the dp[][] array contains enough message to determine the LCS, not only the length, but all of LCS candidate, we can backtrack to find all of LCS.
for backtrack, one criteria is
dp[i-1][j]==dp[i][j]-1 && dp[i][j-1]==dp[i][j]-1
another is
dp[i][j]==dp[i-1][j-1]+1 && str1[i]==str2[j]
both is ok, here the first one is used.
