Merge Two Sorted Lists
<p>You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists <code>list1</code> and <code>list2</code>.</p>

<p>Merge the two lists into one <strong>sorted</strong> list. The list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.</p>

<p>Return <em>the head of the merged linked list</em>.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> list1 = [1,2,4], list2 = [1,3,4]
<strong>Output:</strong> [1,1,2,3,4,4]

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> list1 = [], list2 = []
<strong>Output:</strong> []
