As Far from Land as Possible
<p>Given an <code>n x n</code> <code>grid</code>&nbsp;containing only values <code>0</code> and <code>1</code>, where&nbsp;<code>0</code> represents water&nbsp;and <code>1</code> represents land, find a water cell such that its distance to the nearest land cell is maximized, and return the distance.&nbsp;If no land or water exists in the grid, return <code>-1</code>.</p>

<p>The distance used in this problem is the Manhattan distance:&nbsp;the distance between two cells <code>(x0, y0)</code> and <code>(x1, y1)</code> is <code>|x0 - x1| + |y0 - y1|</code>.</p>

<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,0,1],[0,0,0],[1,0,1]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The cell (1, 1) is as far as possible from all the land with distance 2.
