//Do you know how the candy crush type games work ? Write a function that receives a string and plays a candy crush game with it -
//removes letters when there are 3 or more the same letters in a row.We want this function to return what is left after all of the
//groups of letters have been removed.
//
//Example :
//  Input string : AABBCCCCBDDDADB
//  After first round : AABBBADB
//  After second round : AAADB
//  After third round : DB
//  Output : DB
