Inorder Successor of Bst

D
/**
 * @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.
