/**
 * 64. Minimum Path Sum
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-path-sum/description/
 *
 * Given a m x n grid filled with non-negative numbers,
 * find a path from top left to bottom right which minimizes the sum of all numbers along its path.
Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.

Example:
Input:
[
[1,3,1],
[1,5,1],
[4,2,1]
]
Output: 7
Explanation: Because the path 1→3→1→1→1 minimizes the sum.
