Problem
You are given a 0-indexed integer array books of length n where books[i] denotes the number of books on the ith shelf of a bookshelf.
You are going to take books from a contiguous section of the bookshelf spanning from l to r where 0 <= l <= r < n. For each index i in the range l <= i < r, you must take strictly fewer books from shelf i than shelf i + 1.
Return the maximum number of books you can take from the bookshelf.

Example 1:
Input: books = [8,5,2,7,9] Output: 19 Explanation: - Take 1 book from shelf 1. - Take 2 books from shelf 2. - Take 7 books from shelf 3. - Take 9 books from shelf 4. You have taken 19 books, so return 19. It can be proven that 19 is the maximum number of books you can take.
Example 2:
Input: books = [7,0,3,4,5] Output: 12 Explanation: - Take 3 books from shelf 2. - Take 4 books from shelf 3. - Take 5 books from shelf 4. You have taken 12 books so return 12. It can be proven that 12 is the maximum number of books you can take.
Example 3:
Input: books = [8,2,3,7,3,4,0,1,4,3] Output: 13 Explanation: - Take 1 book from shelf 0. - Take 2 books from shelf 1. - Take 3 books from shelf 2. - Take 7 books from shelf 3. You have taken 13 books so return 13. It can be proven that 13 is the maximum number of books you can take.

Constraints:
1 <= books.length <= 1050 <= books[i] <= 105
