333. Largest BST Subtree

Given a binary tree, find the largest subtree which is a Binary Search Tree (BST), where largest means subtree with largest number of nodes in it.
Note:
A subtree must include all of its descendants.
Here's an example:

    10
    / \
   5  15
  / \   \ 
 1   8   7

The Largest BST Subtree in this case is the highlighted one.
The return value is the subtree's size, which is 3.

Can you figure out ways to solve it with O(n) time complexity?

Solution：递归 Post-order 分治 Bottom-up向上传递

思路： 分治divide左右子树，conquer左右子树的pack.范围和count，并计算出自己当前的pack继续上传，期间更新最大result。
pack传递可以通过返回值 写法1_a，也可以通过参数 写法1_b，都可以的
