Escape the Maze

You are given a maze represented as a 2D grid of '0's (free cell) and '1's (blocked cell). Your goal is to find one path from the top-left corner (0, 0) to the bottom-right corner (n-1, m-1). You can move in four directions: up, down, left, or right. If there is no path, return 'No Path'. The input consists of two integers n and m followed by n lines of m integers (0 or 1). Example: Input: 3 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 Output: [(0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)]
