918. Maximum Sum Circular Subarray
https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-sum-circular-subarray/
Given a circular integer array nums of length n, return the maximum possible sum of a non-empty subarray of nums.
A circular array means the end of the array connects to the beginning of the array. Formally, the next element of nums[i] is nums[(i + 1) % n] and the previous element of nums[i] is nums[(i - 1 + n) % n].
A subarray may only include each element of the fixed buffer nums at most once. Formally, for a subarray nums[i], nums[i + 1], ..., nums[j], there does not exist i <= k1, k2 <= j with k1 % n == k2 % n.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,-2,3,-2]
Output: 3
Explanation: Subarray [3] has maximum sum 3.Example 2:
Input: nums = [5,-3,5]
Output: 10
Explanation: Subarray [5,5] has maximum sum 5 + 5 = 10.Example 3:
Input: nums = [-3,-2,-3]
Output: -2
Explanation: Subarray [-2] has maximum sum -2.
Constraints:
n == nums.length1 <= n <= 3 * 104-3 * 104 <= nums[i] <= 3 * 104

What is an alternate way of representing a circular array so that it appears to be a straight array? Essentially, there are two cases of this problem that we need to take care of. Let's look at the figure below to understand those two cases:

Case 1: #### case 1: max appear in the middle
Answer is in (LeetCode 53 Maximum Subarray)
Case 2: #### case 2: max appear at two ends, so in the middle is min ,
Find MaxSubArray, sumArray- MinSubArray (注意这里要判断sumArray != MinSubArray)
