 * 1688. Count of Matches in Tournament
https://leetcode.com/problems/count-of-matches-in-tournament/

You are given an integer n, the number of teams in a tournament that has strange rules:
1. If the current number of teams is even, each team gets paired with another team.
    A total of n / 2 matches are played, and n / 2 teams advance to the next round.
2. If the current number of teams is odd, one team randomly advances in the tournament, and the rest gets paired.
    A total of (n - 1) / 2 matches are played, and (n - 1) / 2 + 1 teams advance to the next round.
Return the number of matches played in the tournament until a winner is decided.
