Minimum Bandwidth for Upload
You are tasked with calculating the minimum required bandwidth needed for uploads in a streaming service. Given an array of upload sizes and a threshold, find the minimum contiguous subarray where the sum exceeds the threshold. If no such subarray exists, return -1. Input is a single line of space-separated integers followed by a threshold integer. Example input: '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
15'. Example output: '2'.
