124 - Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum\.
Hard
A **path** in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence **at most once**. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root.
The **path sum** of a path is the sum of the node's values in the path.
Given the `root` of a binary tree, return _the maximum **path sum** of any **non-empty** path_.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** root = [1,2,3]
**Output:** 6
**Explanation:** The optimal path is 2 -> 1 -> 3 with a path sum of 2 + 1 + 3 = 6.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** root = [-10,9,20,null,null,15,7]
**Output:** 42
**Explanation:** The optimal path is 15 -> 20 -> 7 with a path sum of 15 + 20 + 7 = 42.
**Constraints:**
* The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 3 * 104].
* `-1000 <= Node.val <= 1000`
