         * The inorder traversal of a BST is the nodes in ascending order.
         * To find a successor, you just need to find the smallest one that is larger than the given value since there are no duplicate values in a BST.
         * It's just like the binary search in a sorted list.
         * <p>
         * The time complexity should be O(h) where h is the depth of the result node.
         * succ is a pointer that keeps the possible successor.
         * Whenever you go left the current root is the new possible successor, otherwise it remains the same.
         * <p>
         * Only in a balanced BST O(h) = O(log n). In the worst case h can be as large as n.
