Add solution for Project Euler problem 67 (#5519)
* New solution for Euler problem 67

A faster and memory efficient solution based on the template of sol1.py.
Modified the solution to be more memory efficient while reading and generating the array
and during the solution finding.
No conditions and straightforward logic.

* added return type hint

* Update project_euler/problem_067/sol2.py

Preferring comprehensions over map

* Update sol2.py

Self explanatory variable names

* Updated sol2 to problem 067 in directory

* Update project_euler/problem_067/sol2.py

Problem Statement:
By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on
the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.
3
7 4
2 4 6
8 5 9 3
That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.
Find the maximum total from top to bottom in triangle.txt (right click and
'Save Link/Target As...'), a 15K text file containing a triangle with
one-hundred rows.
