Employee Free Time

We are given a list schedule of employees, which represents the working time for each employee. Each employee has a list of non-overlapping Intervals, and these intervals are in sorted order. Return the list of finite intervals representing common, positive-length free time for all employees, also in sorted order. (Even though we are representing Intervals in the form [x, y], the objects inside are Intervals, not lists or arrays. For example, schedule[0][0].start = 1, schedule[0][0].end = 2, and schedule[0][0][0] is not defined). Also, we wouldn't include intervals like 5, 5 in our answer, as they have zero length.
