Removed obsolete python samples #25268
Clean Samples #25006
This PR removes 36 obsolete python samples from the project, as part of an effort to keep the codebase clean and focused on current best practices. Some of these samples will be updated with latest algorithms or will be combined with other existing samples.

These changes aim to improve the repository's clarity and usability by removing examples that are no longer relevant or have been superseded by more up-to-date techniques.
Move API focused C++ samples to snippets #25252
Clean Samples #25006
This PR removes 39 outdated C++ samples from the project, as part of an effort to keep the codebase clean and focused on current best practices.
C-API cleanup: apps, imgproc_c and some constants #25075
Merge with https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/pull/3642
* Removed obsolete apps - traincascade and createsamples (please use older OpenCV versions if you need them). These apps relied heavily on C-API
* removed all mentions of imgproc C-API headers (imgproc_c.h, types_c.h) - they were empty, included core C-API headers
* replaced usage of several C constants with C++ ones (error codes, norm modes, RNG modes, PCA modes, ...) - most part of this PR (split into two parts - all modules and calib+3d - for easier backporting)
* removed imgproc C-API headers (as separate commit, so that other changes could be backported to 4.x)
Most of these changes can be backported to 4.x.
