Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null
.
Note: Do not modify the linked list.

Can you solve it without using extra space?
题意:判断链表是否有环,若有环返回环起始的结点。
思路:设计两个快慢指针,快的走两步,慢的走一步,则如果相遇则说明有环,这个时候把快指针从头开始走,一次走一步,再次与慢指针相遇的时候,则就是环的起点(证明根据快指针走的距离是慢指针距离的两倍)。若无环,则返回NULL。
