Given a string s, return the length of its longest nonempty consecutive run whose characters are all identical.

For this exercise, assume s contains only lowercase English letters and may be empty. Return 0 when s is empty.

longestIdenticalRun(s: String) → int

s = "aaabbc"return = 3

The prefix aaa is the longest identical-character run, so the answer is 3.

s = "abbbbbaccc"return = 5

The run bbbbb has length 5, longer than every other run.

s = ""return = 0

The empty string contains no nonempty run.
