543. 二叉树的直径

给定一棵二叉树，你需要计算它的直径长度。一棵二叉树的直径长度是任意两个结点路径长度中的最大值。这条路径可能穿过也可能不穿过根结点。

示例 :
给定二叉树

          1
         / 
        2   3
       /      
      4   5    

返回 3, 它的长度是路径 [4,2,1,3] 或者 [5,2,1,3]。

递归解法：

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode() {}
 *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = left;
 *         this.right = right;
 *     }
 * }
