57. Insert Interval

package LeetCode_57

/**
 * 57. Insert Interval
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/insert-interval/description/
 *
 * Given a set of non-overlapping intervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).
You may assume that the intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.

Example 1:
Input: intervals = [[1,3],[6,9]], newInterval = [2,5]
Output: [[1,5],[6,9]]
