 Problem:    Gas Station
 Difficulty: Easy
 Source:     http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/gas-station/
 Notes:
 There are N gas stations along a circular route, where the amount of gas at station i is gas[i].
 You have a car with an unlimited gas tank and it costs cost[i] of gas to travel from station i to its next station (i+1). You begin the journey with an empty tank at one of the gas stations.
 Return the starting gas station's index if you can travel around the circuit once, otherwise return -1.
 The solution is guaranteed to be unique.
