This solution creates a new list but the nodes are actually the same from the original list,
thus we don't create any new node.
It works exactly the same as the other solution but instead of creating new nodes, we point the
new list's next to the current item and then change the current to move forward (making sure we
move forward with the resulting list too).
Complexity in time is O(n + m) as well, but space is constant, although we modify the elements
of the original lists.

This solution creates a new linked list and adds new node values while iterating on the two
linked lists. When we find that an element of the first list is less than the one of the
second, then we add a new node with the same value as the first and progress the pointer.
Otherwise, we do the same for the other list. When one of the two pointers comes to tail,
we copy the remaining items from the other list.
Complexity in time is O(n + m) where n and m are the lengths of the 2 lists. Complexity in
space is O(n + m) as well.
