/**
* @file
* @brief An implementation for finding the [Inorder successor of a binary
* search tree](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cPbNCrdotA) Inorder
* successor of a node is the next node in Inorder traversal of the Binary Tree.
* Inorder Successor is NULL for the last node in Inorder traversal.
* @details
* ### Case 1: The given node has the right node/subtree
*
* * In this case, the left-most deepest node in the right subtree will
* come just after the given node as we go to left deep in inorder.
* - Go deep to left most node in right subtree.
* OR, we can also say in case if BST, find the minimum of the subtree
* for a given node.
*
* ### Case 2: The given node does not have a right node/subtree
*
* #### Method 1: Use parent pointer (store the address of parent nodes)
* * If a node does not have the right subtree, and we already visited the
* node itself, then the next node will be its parent node according to inorder
* traversal, and if we are going to parent from left, then the parent would be
* unvisited.
* * In other words, go to the nearest ancestor for which given node would
* be in left subtree.
*
* #### Method 2: Search from the root node
* * In case if there is no link from a child node to the parent node, we
* need to walk down the tree starting from the root node to the given node, by
* doing so, we are visiting every ancestor of the given node.
* * In order successor would be the deepest node in this path for which
* given node is in left subtree.
