Reverted contour approximation behavior #25680
Related issue #25663 - revert new function behavior despite it returning different result than the old one (reverts PR #25672).
Also added Coverity issue fix.
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)
