* [Borůvkas Algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borůvka's_algorithm) to
*find the Minimum Spanning Tree
*
*
* @details
* Boruvka's algorithm is a greepy algorithm to find the MST by starting with
*small trees, and combining them to build bigger ones.
* 1. Creates a group for every vertex.
* 2. looks through each edge of every vertex for the smallest weight. Keeps
*track of the smallest edge for each of the current groups.
* 3. Combine each group with the group it shares its smallest edge, adding the
*smallest edge to the MST.
* 4. Repeat step 2-3 until all vertices are combined into a single group.
*
* It assumes that the graph is connected. Non-connected edges can be
*represented using 0 or INT_MAX
*
