 *
 * Given a binary tree and a sum, determine if the tree has a root-to-leaf path
 * such that adding up all the values along the path equals the given sum.
 *
 * Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,
 *
 *
 * ⁠     5
 * ⁠    / \
 * ⁠   4   8
 * ⁠  /   / \
 * ⁠ 11  13  4
 * ⁠/  \      \
 * 7    2      1
 *
 *
 * return true, as there exist a root-to-leaf path 5->4->11->2 which sum is 22.
