LeetCode Q333: Largest BST Subtree

Given a binary tree, find the largest subtree which is a Binary Search Tree (BST), where largest means subtree with largest number of nodes in it.
Note:
A subtree must include all of its descendants.
Here's an example:
    10
    / \
   5  15
  / \   \ 
 1   8   7
The Largest BST Subtree in this case is the highlighted one. 
The return value is the subtree's size, which is 3.
Hint:
  1. You can recursively use algorithm similar to 98. Validate Binary Search Tree at each node of the tree, which will result in O(nlogn) time complexity.
Follow up:
Can you figure out ways to solve it with O(n) time complexity?

Solution:
Use solution in Q98. Validate Binary Search Tree to solve this problem.
