Given a list of intervals where each interval is represented as a list of two integers [start, end], merge all overlapping intervals and return the merged result. Intervals overlap if they share at least one common point. Return the merged intervals sorted by start time.

Examples:

Input: intervals = [[1,3], [2,6], [8,10], [15,18]] Output: [[1,6], [8,10], [15,18]] Explanation: Intervals [1,3] and [2,6] overlap, so they merge into [1,6] Input: intervals = [[1,4], [4,5]] Output: [[1,5]] Explanation: Intervals touch at point 4, so they merge into a single interval Input: intervals = [[1,4], [2,3]] Output: [[1,4]] Explanation: [2,3] is completely contained within [1,4]
