867. Transpose Matrix
Description
Given a 2D integer array matrix, return the transpose of matrix.
The transpose of a matrix is the matrix flipped over its main diagonal, switching the matrix’s row and column indices.

Example 1:
- Input: matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
- Output: [[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[3,6,9]]
Example 2:
- Input: matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
- Output: [[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]]
Constraints:
- m == matrix.length
- n == matrix[i].length
- 1 <= m, n <= 1000
- 1 <= m * n <= 105
- -109 <= matrix[i][j] <= 109
💡 Hint 1:
We don't need any special algorithms to do this. You just need to know what the transpose of a matrix looks like. Rows become columns and vice versa!

전치 행렬을 새로 생성한 후, 행과 열의 인덱스를 변경한 위치에 값을 넣어주는 방법이 가장 많이 쓰이는 것 같다.

미리 모든 위치를 만들어놓지 않고 한 행씩 완성해나가는 방법도 있다.
