216. Combination Sum III

Find all valid combinations of k numbers that sum up to n such that the following conditions are true:

• Only numbers 1 through 9 are used.
• Each number is used at most once.

Return a list of all possible valid combinations. The list must not contain the same combination twice, and the combinations may be returned in any order.
