Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],
3    / \   9  20     /  \    15   7return its minimum depth = 2.

树的遍历计数问题,需要注意的是出现左右节点不同时存在时,需要取存在子节点的那个分支计数。
