Word Break

Task:
Given a string and a list of words, return true if the string can be
segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more words.

Note that the same word may be reused
multiple times in the segmentation.

Implementation notes: Trie + Dynamic programming up -> down.
The Trie will be used to store the words. It will be useful for scanning
available words for the current position in the string.
