Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.
According to the
definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow
a node to be a descendant of itself).”

For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes
2 and 8 is
6. Another example is LCA of nodes
2 and 4 is
2, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

思路:
根据BST的定义:
Let x be a node in a binary search tree. If y is a node in the left subtree of x, then y.key <= x.key. If y is a node in the right subtree of x, then y.key >=
