Added flag to GaussianBlur for faster but not bit-exact implementation #25792
Rationale:
Current implementation of GaussianBlur is almost always bit-exact. It helps to get predictable results according platforms, but prohibits most of approximations and optimization tricks.
The patch converts `borderType` parameter to more generic `flags` and introduces `GAUSS_ALLOW_APPROXIMATIONS` flag to allow not bit-exact implementation. With the flag IPP and generic HAL implementation are called first. The flag naming and location is a subject for discussion.

Add a new function that approximates the polygon bounding a convex hull with a certain number of sides #25607
merge PR with <https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1179>
This PR is based on the paper [View Frustum Optimization To Maximize Object’s Image Area](https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=1fbd43f3827fffeb76641a9c5ab5b625eb5a75ba).
# Problem
I needed to reduce the number of vertices of the convex hull so that the additional area was minimal, andall vertices of the original contour enter the new contour.
# Description
Initially in the contour of n vertices, at each stage we consider the intersection points of the lines formed by each adjacent edges. Each of these intersection points will form a triangle with vertices through which lines pass. Let's choose a triangle with the minimum area and merge the two vertices at the intersection point. We continue until there are more vertices than the specified number of sides of the approximated polygon.
# Complexity:
Using a std::priority_queue or std::set time complexity is **(O(n\*ln(n))**, memory **O(n)**,
n - number of vertices in convex hull.
count of sides - the number of points by which we must reduce.
## Comment
If epsilon_percentage more 0, algorithm can return more values than _side_.
Algorithm returns OutputArray. If OutputArray.type() equals 0, algorithm returns values with InputArray.type().
New test uses image which are not in opencv_extra, needs to be added.

Tests for cvSmooth -> tests for boxFilter #25634fixes#25448
### Motivation
The obsolete function `cvSmooth` has two modes in which it calls `cv::boxFilter()` inside with and without normalization.
This function is covered by tests exactly for that modes.
This means that by replacing `cvSmooth` call by `cv::boxFilter()` we will leave the coverage untouched (but more obvious) and remove that obsolete function from tests.

imgproc: C-API cleanup, drawContours refactor #25564
Changes:
* moved several macros from types_c.h to cvdef.h (assuming we will continue using them)
* removed some cases of C-API usage in _imgproc_ module (`CV_TERMCRIT_*` and `CV_CMP_*`)
* refactored `drawContours` to use C++ API instead of calling `cvDrawContours` + test for filled contours with holes (case with non-filled contours is simpler and is covered in some other tests)
#### Note:
There is one case where old drawContours behavior doesn't match the new one - when `contourIdx == -1` (means "draw all contours") and `maxLevel == 0` (means draw only selected contours, but not what is inside).
From the docs:
> **contourIdx** Parameter indicating a contour to draw. If it is negative, all the contours are drawn.
> **maxLevel** Maximal level for drawn contours. If it is 0, only the specified contour is drawn. If it is 1, the function draws the contour(s) and all the nested contours. If it is 2, the function draws the contours, all the nested contours, all the nested-to-nested contours, and so on. This parameter is only taken into account when there is hierarchy available.
Old behavior - only one first contour is drawn:
a
New behavior (also expected by the test) - all contours are drawn:

It is said "see above" because calcBackProject is listed under calcHist function in source file, while it is listed before due to the lexicographic ordering.
imgproc: refactor EMD to reduce C-API usage #25469
- added more tests for EMD
- refactored to remove CvArr
- used BufferArea for memory allocations
- renamed functions and variables and formatted the code
- kept legacy functions intact in separate header
imgproc: fix unaligned memory access in filters and Gaussian blur #25364
* filter/SIMD: removed parts which casted 8u pointers to int causing unaligned memory access on RISC-V platform.
* GaussianBlur/fixed_point: replaced casts from s16 to u32 with union operations
Performance comparison:
- [x] check performance on x86_64 - (4 threads, `-DCPU_BASELINE=AVX2`, GCC 11.4, Ubuntu 22) - [report_imgproc_x86_64.ods](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/files/14904702/report_x86_64.ods)
- [x] check performance on AArch64 - (4 cores of RK3588, GCC 11.4 aarch64, Raspbian) - [report_imgproc_aarch64.ods](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/files/14908437/report_aarch64.ods)
Note: for some reason my performance results are quite unstable, unaffected functions show speedups and slowdowns in many cases. Filter2D and GaussianBlur seem to be OK.

Reworked findContours to reduce C-API usage #25146
What is done:
* rewritten `findContours` and `icvApproximateChainTC89` using C++ data structures
* extracted LINK_RUNS mode to separate new public functions - `findContoursLinkRuns` (it uses completely different algorithm)
* ~added new public `cv::approximateChainTC89`~ - **❌ decided to hide it**
* enabled chain code output (method = 0, no public enum value for this in C++ yet)
* kept old function as `findContours_old` (exported, but not exposed to user)
* added more tests for findContours (`test_contours_new.cpp`), some tests compare results of old function with new one. Following tests have been added:
* contours of random rectangle
* contours of many small (1-2px) blobs
* contours of random noise
* backport of old accuracy test
* separate test for LINK RUNS variant
What is left to be done (can be done now or later):
* improve tests:
* some tests have limited verification (e.g. only verify contour sizes)
* perhaps reference data can be collected and stored
* maybe more test variants can be added (?)
* add enum value for chain code output and a method of returning starting points (e.g. first 8 elements of returned `vector<uchar>` can represent 2 int point coordinates)
* add documentation for new functions - **✔️ DONE**
* check and improve performance (my experiment showed 0.7x-1.1x some time ago)
* remove old functions completely (?)
* change contour return order (BFS) or allow to select it (?)
* return result tree as-is (?) (new data structures should be exposed, bindings should adapt)
