implement a function to check if a binary tree is balanced. for the purposes of this question, a balanced tree is defined to be a tree such that the heights of the two subtrees of any node never differ by more than one.
平衡二叉树的定义为：它是一棵空树或它的左右两个子树的高度差的绝对值不超过1， 并且左右两个子树都是一棵平衡二叉树。
思路：
1）先写一个递归的树的高度函数，然后检查子树的高度差是否大于1
2）优化：把检查子树高度差是否大于1的逻辑放在求树的高度的递归函数中，并且遇到非平衡就及时返回。
注：
这道题不同于问一棵树是否平衡（这棵树任意两个叶子结点到根结点的距离之差不大于1）：
