44\. Wildcard Matching
Hard
Given an input string (`s`) and a pattern (`p`), implement wildcard pattern matching with support for `'?'` and `'*'` where:
* `'?'` Matches any single character.
* `'*'` Matches any sequence of characters (including the empty sequence).
The matching should cover the **entire** input string (not partial).
**Example 1:**
**Input:** s = "aa", p = "a"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** "a" does not match the entire string "aa".
**Example 2:**
**Input:** s = "aa", p = "\*"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** '\*' matches any sequence.
**Example 3:**
**Input:** s = "cb", p = "?a"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** '?' matches 'c', but the second letter is 'a', which does not match 'b'.
**Constraints:**
* `0 <= s.length, p.length <= 2000`
* `s` contains only lowercase English letters.
* `p` contains only lowercase English letters, `'?'` or `'*'`.
