/**
 * 3044. Most Frequent Prime
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/most-frequent-prime/
 * Difficulty: Medium
 *
 * You are given a m x n 0-indexed 2D matrix mat. From every cell, you can create numbers
 * in the following way:
 * - There could be at most 8 paths from the cells namely: east, south-east, south, south-west,
 *   west, north-west, north, and north-east.
 * - Select a path from them and append digits in this path to the number being formed by
 *   traveling in this direction.
 * - Note that numbers are generated at every step, for example, if the digits along the path
 *   are 1, 9, 1, then there will be three numbers generated along the way: 1, 19, 191.
 *
 * Return the most frequent prime number greater than 10 out of all the numbers created by
 * traversing the matrix or -1 if no such prime number exists. If there are multiple prime
 * numbers with the highest frequency, then return the largest among them.
 *
 * Note: It is invalid to change the direction during the move.
