matrix/count_paths.py (#7533)

* added recursive dfs backtracking for count paths with doctests

* fixed doc testing

* added type hints

* redefined r as row, c as col

* fixed naming conventions, ran mypy, only tests that didn't pass were using List[], rathan list()

* added another doctest, as well as a explanation above

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Update matrix/count_paths.py

"""
Given a grid, where you start from the top left position [0, 0],
you want to find how many paths you can take to get to the bottom right position.
start here -> 0 0 0 0
1 1 0 0
0 0 0 1
0 1 0 0 <- finish here
how many 'distinct' paths can you take to get to the finish?
Using a recursive depth-first search algorithm below, you are able to
find the number of distinct unique paths (count).
'*' will demonstrate a path
In the example above, there are two distinct paths:
1. 2.
* * * 0 * * * *
1 1 * 0 1 1 * *
0 0 * 1 0 0 * 1
0 1 * * 0 1 * *
