[LintCode] Build Post Office I & II

Given a 2D grid, each cell is either an house 1 or empty 0 (the number zero, one), find the place to build a post office, the distance that post office to all the house sum is smallest. Return the smallest distance. Return -1 if it is not possible.

You can pass through house and empty.
You only build post office on an empty.

Given a grid:

0 1 0 0
1 0 1 1
0 1 0 0
return 6. (Placing a post office at (1,1), the distance that post office to all the house sum is smallest.)

Given a 2D grid, each cell is either a wall 2, an house 1 or empty 0 (the number zero, one, two), find the place to build a post office, the distance that post office to all the house sum is smallest. Return the smallest distance. Return -1 if it is not possible.

You cannot pass through wall and house, but can pass through empty.
You only build post office on an empty.

Given a grid:

0 1 0 0 0
1 0 0 2 1
0 1 0 0 0

return 8, You can build at (1,1). (Placing a post office at (1,1), the distance that post office to all the house sum is smallest.)
