### Details

I was following [this tutorial](https://docs.opencv.org/4.9.0/d4/da1/tutorial_js_setup.html) for building opencv with wasm target. The tutorial mentions that the last verified version of emscripten that is tested with opencv is 2.0.10, but I was curious if I could get it to work with more recent versions. I've run into a few issues with the latest version, for which fixes are included in this PR. I've found a few issues that have the same problems I encountered:

I used the docker image for building and comparing results with different emsdk versions. I tested by building with `--build_wasm` and `--build-test` flags and ran the tests in the browser. I addressed the following issues with newer versions of emscripten:

- In newer versions `EMSCRIPTEN` environemnt variable was stopped being set. I added support for deriving location based on the `EMSDK` environment variable, as suggested [here](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/14803)
- In newer versions emcmake started passing `-DCMAKE...` arguments, however the opencv python script didn't know how to handle them. I added processing to the args that will forward all arguments to `cmake` that start with `-D`. I opted for this in hopes of being more futureproof, but another approach could be just ignoreing them, or explicitly forwarding them instead of matching anything starting with `-D`. These approches were suggested [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/19493#issuecomment-855529448)
- With [version 3.1.31](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/ChangeLog.md#3131---012623) some previously exported functions stopped being automatically exported. Because of this, `_free` and `_malloc` were no longer available and had to be explicitly exported because of breaking tests.
- With [version 3.1.42](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/compare/3.1.41...3.1.42#diff-e505aa80b2764c0197acfc9afd8179b3600f0ab5dd00ff77db01879a84515cdbL3875) the `post-js` code doesn't receive the module named as `EXPORT_NAME` anymore, but only as `moduleArg`/`Module`. This broke existing code in `helpers.js`, which was referencing exported functions through `cv.Mat`, etc. I changed all of these references to use `Module.Mat`, etc. If it is preferred, alternatively the `cv` variable could be reintroduced in `helper.js` as suggested [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/24620)

With the above changes in place, I can successfully build and run tests with the latest emscripten/emsdk docker image (also with 2.0.10 and most of the other older tags, except for a few that contain transient issues like [this](https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17700)).

This is my first time contributing to opencv, so I hope I got everything correct in this PR, but please let me know if I should change anything!
