Haskell Quiz/Numeric Maze/Solution Dolio

This is a simple breadth-first search with some pruning. It avoids visiting numbers that have already been seen in a shorter sequence, and trims in too-large values (I noticed that no shortest sequences in that case seemed to use numbers greater than 2*max(init, target) + 2, so such values could be discarded).
