* added basic support for CV_16F (the new datatype etc.). CV_USRTYPE1 is now equal to CV_16F, which may break some [rarely used] functionality. We'll see
* fixed just introduced bug in norm; reverted errorneous changes in Torch importer (need to find a better solution)
* addressed some issues found during the PR review
* restored the patch to fix some perf test failures
* may be an typo fix
* remove identical branch,may be paste error
* add parentheses around macro parameter
* simplify if condition
* check malloc fail
* change the condition of branch removed by commit 3041502861
* rewrote Mat::convertTo() and convertScaleAbs() to wide universal intrinsics; added always-available and SIMD-optimized FP16<=>FP32 conversion
* fixed compile warnings
* fix some more compile errors
* slightly relaxed accuracy threshold for int->float conversion (since we now do it using single-precision arithmetics, not double-precision)
* fixed compile errors on iOS, Android and in the baseline C++ version (intrin_cpp.hpp)
* trying to fix ARM-neon builds
* trying to fix ARM-neon builds
* trying to fix ARM-neon builds
* trying to fix ARM-neon builds
* trying to fix the custom AVX2 builder test failures (false alarms)
* fixed compile error with CPU_BASELINE=AVX2 on x86; raised tolerance thresholds in a couple of tests
* fixed compile error with CPU_BASELINE=AVX2 on x86; raised tolerance thresholds in a couple of tests
* fixed compile error with CPU_BASELINE=AVX2 on x86; raised tolerance thresholds in a couple of tests
* seemingly disabled false alarm warning in surf.cpp; increased tolerance thresholds in the tests for SolvePnP and in DNN/ENet
* bgr2gray 8u fixed to be in conformance with IPP code
* coefficients fixed so their sum is 32768
* java test for CascadeDetect fixed: equalizeHist added
* Remove a forward method in dnn::Layer
* Add a test
* Fix tests
* Mark multiple dnn::Layer::finalize methods as deprecated
* Replace back dnn's inputBlobs to vector of pointers
* Remove Layer::forward_fallback from CV_OCL_RUN scopes
