Problem 44439. Remove the air bubbles from a vector

A reduced version of Problem 112

Given a column vector v, return a vector w in which all the zeros have "bubbled" to the top. The order of the remaining nonzero numbers in the vector should be preserved.

Example:

Input  v = [1
            3
            0
            5
            0
            -1]

Output w = [0
            0
            1
            3
            5
            -1]
