Given the root of a binary tree, return the same tree where every subtree (of the given tree) not containing a 1 has been removed.
A subtree of a node node is node plus every node that is a descendant of node.

/*
* Given the root of a binary tree, return the same tree where every subtree (of the given tree) not containing a 1 has been removed.
* A subtree of a node node is node plus every node that is a descendant of node.
* Example 1:
* Input: root = [1,null,0,0,1]
* Output: [1,null,0,null,1]
* Explanation:
* Only the red nodes satisfy the property "every subtree not containing a 1".
* The diagram on the right represents the answer.
* Example 2:
* Input: root = [1,0,1,0,0,0,1]
* Output: [1,null,1,null,1]
* Example 3:
* Input: root = [1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0]
* Output: [1,1,0,1,1,null,1]
* Constraints:
* The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 200].
* Node.val is either 0 or 1.
