51\. N-Queens
Hard
The **n-queens** puzzle is the problem of placing `n` queens on an `n x n` chessboard such that no two queens attack each other.
Given an integer `n`, return _all distinct solutions to the **n-queens puzzle**_. You may return the answer in **any order**.
Each solution contains a distinct board configuration of the n-queens' placement, where `'Q'` and `'.'` both indicate a queen and an empty space, respectively.
