Maximum subarray

Hard
Given an array of integers, find the maximum sum of any subarray within the array.
Some examples:
  1. max_sum([1, 9, 2]) returns 12 from the subarray [1, 9, 2]
  2. max_sum([-2, 5, -1, 4]) returns 8 from the subarray [5, -1, 4]
  3. max_sum([-1, 3, -2]) returns 3 from the subarray [3]
Note that a subarray implies that the numbers must be contiguous in the array.
