Set Matrix Zeroes
/**
* Given a m x n matrix, if an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0. Do it in place.
* Did you use extra space?
* A straight forward solution using O(mn) space is probably a bad idea.
* A simple improvement uses O(m + n) space, but still not the best solution.
* Could you devise a constant space solution?
