124_binaryTreeMaximumPathSum

/*
Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.

For this problem, a path is defined as any sequence of nodes from some starting node to any node in the tree along the parent-child connections. The path must contain at least one node and does not need to go through the root.

For example:
Given the below binary tree,

       1
      / \
     2   3
Return 6.
自下而上，计算每个节点的左支路值与右支路值和本节点值，比较最大值并更新加上该节点的支路
最大值(并与0比较，取大的)
