https://leetcode.com/problems/diameter-of-binary-tree/
Given a binary tree, you need to compute the length of the diameter of the tree. The diameter of a binary tree is the
length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root.
For each node, update max diameter as sum of depths of left and right subtrees.
Time - O(n)
Space - O(1)

return 0;
int left = depth(node.left);
int right = depth(node.right);
diameter = Math.max(diameter, left + right);
return Math.max(left + 1, right + 1);
