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.

Below is evidence of the test:
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)

[BugFix] dnn (ONNX): Foce dropping constant inputs in parseClip if they are shared #25319
Resolves https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/25278
Merge with https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1165
In Gold-YOLO ,`Div` has a constant input `B=6` which is then parsed into a `Const` layer in the ONNX importer, but `Clip` also has the shared constant input `max=6` which is already a `Const` layer and then connected to `Elementwise` layer. This should not happen because in the `forward()` of `Elementwise` layer, the legacy code goes through and apply activation to each input. More details on https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/25278#issuecomment-2032199630.

Optimize int8 layers in DNN modules by using RISC-V Vector intrinsic. #25230
This patch optimize 3 functions in the int8 layer by using RVV Native Intrinsic.
This patch was tested on QEMU using VLEN=128 and VLEN=256 on `./bin/opencv_test_dnn --gtest_filter="*Int8*"`;
On the real device (k230, VLEN=128), `EfficientDet_int8` in `opencv_perf_dnn` showed a performance improvement of 1.46x.
| Name of Test | Original | optimized | Speed-up |
