Detect loop in linked list
/**
* 141. Linked List Cycle
* <p>
* Given a linked list, determine if it has a cycle in it.
* <p>
* To represent a cycle in the given linked list, we use an integer pos which represents the position (0-indexed) in the
* linked list where tail connects to. If pos is -1, then there is no cycle in the linked list.
* <p>
* Example 1:
* <p>
* Input: head = [3,2,0,-4], pos = 1
* Output: true
* Explanation: There is a cycle in the linked list, where tail connects to the second node.
