Feature: Add OpenVINO NPU support #27363
## Why
- OpenVINO now supports inference on integrated NPU devices in intel's Core Ultra series processors.
- Sometimes as fast as GPU, but should use considerably less power.
## How
- The NPU plugin is now available as "NPU" in openvino `ov::Core::get_available_devices()`.
- Removed the guards and checks for NPU in available targets for Inference Engine backend.
## Test example
### Pre-requisites
- Intel [Core Ultra series processor](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/processors/core-ultra/edge.html#tab-blade-1-0)
- [Intel NPU driver](https://github.com/intel/linux-npu-driver/releases)
- OpenVINO 2023.3.0+ (Tested on 2025.1.0)
### Example
```cpp
#include <opencv2/dnn.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main(){
cv::dnn::Net net = cv::dnn::readNet("../yolov8s-openvino/yolov8s.xml", "../yolov8s-openvino/yolov8s.bin");
cv::Size net_input_shape = cv::Size(640, 480);
std::cout << "Setting backend to DNN_BACKEND_INFERENCE_ENGINE and target to DNN_TARGET_NPU" << std::endl;
net.setPreferableBackend(cv::dnn::DNN_BACKEND_INFERENCE_ENGINE);
net.setPreferableTarget(cv::dnn::DNN_TARGET_NPU);
cv::Mat image(net_input_shape, CV_8UC3);
cv::randu(image, cv::Scalar(0, 0, 0), cv::Scalar(255, 255, 255));
cv::Mat blob = cv::dnn::blobFromImage(
image, 1, net_input_shape, cv::Scalar(0, 0, 0), true, false, CV_32F);
net.setInput(blob);
std::cout << "Running forward" << std::endl;
cv::Mat result = net.forward();
std::cout << "Output shape: " << result.size << std::endl; // Output shape: 1 x 84 x 6300
}
```

### Description of Changes
#### motivated：
- Orbbec has launched a new RGB-D camera — the Gemini 330. To fully leverage the capabilities of the Gemini 330, Orbbec simultaneously released version 2 of the open-source OrbbecSDK. This PR adapts the support for the Gemini 330 series cameras to better meet and respond to users’ application requirements.
#### change：
- Add support for the Orbbec Gemini330 camera.
- Fixed an issue with Femto Mega on Windows 10/11; for details, see [issue](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/23237#issuecomment-2242347295).
- When enabling `HAVE_OBSENSOR_ORBBEC_SDK`, the build now fetches version 2 of the OrbbecSDK, and the sample API calls have been updated to the v2 format.
### Testing
| OS | Compiler | Camera | Result |
|:----------:|:---------------------------------------:|:-----------------:|:------:|
| Windows 11 | (VS2022) MSVC runtime library version 14.40 | Gemini 335/336L | Pass |
