1/**
2 * [686] Repeated String Match
3 *
4 * Given two strings a and b, return the minimum number of times you should repeat string a so that string b is a substring of it. If it is impossible for b​​​​​​ to be a substring of a after repeating it, return -1.
5 * Notice: string "abc" repeated 0 times is "", repeated 1 time is "abc" and repeated 2 times is "abcabc".
6 *  
7 * Example 1:
8 * 
9 * Input: a = "abcd", b = "cdabcdab"
10 * Output: 3
11 * Explanation: We return 3 because by repeating a three times "abcdabcdabcd", b is a substring of it.
12 * 
13 * Example 2:
14 * 
15 * Input: a = "a", b = "aa"
16 * Output: 2
17 * 
18 *  
19 * Constraints:
20 * 
21 * 	1 <= a.length, b.length <= 10^4
22 * 	a and b consist of lowercase English letters.
23 *
