/**
 * 240. Search a 2D Matrix II
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/search-a-2d-matrix-ii/description/
 *
 * Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix.
 * This matrix has the following properties:

Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right.
Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom.

Example:
Consider the following matrix:
[
[1,   4,  7, 11, 15],
[2,   5,  8, 12, 19],
[3,   6,  9, 16, 22],
[10, 13, 14, 17, 24],
[18, 21, 23, 26, 30]
]
Given target = 5, return true.

Given target = 20, return false.
