Reconstruct Queue by Height

Given a list of people described by (height, k) pairs where k is the

number of taller-or-equal people in front, reconstruct the queue by

sorting and inserting.

Reference: https://leetcode.com/problems/queue-reconstruction-by-height/

Complexity:

Time: O(n^2)

Space: O(n)
