<p>Given the <code>root</code> of a binary tree, return <em>the length of the <strong>diameter</strong> of the tree</em>.</p>

<p>The <strong>diameter</strong> of a binary tree is the <strong>length</strong> of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the <code>root</code>.</p>

<p>The <strong>length</strong> of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> root = [1,2,3,4,5]
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong> 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
