/**
 * 2363. Merge Similar Items
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-similar-items/
 * Difficulty: Easy
 *
 * You are given two 2D integer arrays, items1 and items2, representing two sets of items.
 * Each array items has the following properties:
 * - items[i] = [valuei, weighti] where valuei represents the value and weighti represents
 *   the weight of the ith item.
 * - The value of each item in items is unique.
 *
 * Return a 2D integer array ret where ret[i] = [valuei, weighti], with weighti being the sum of
 * weights of all items with value valuei.
 *
 * Note: ret should be returned in ascending order by value.
