Fix memory leak in pyopencv_to for path-like objects #28047
This PR fixes a memory leak in pyopencv_to when handling path-like objects (e.g., pathlib.Path).
Problem:
PyOS_FSPath() returns a new strong reference, but the code was not calling Py_XDECREF to decrement it, causing a memory leak on every call with path-like arguments.
Solution:
Store the returned reference from PyOS_FSPath() in a separate variable path_obj
Call Py_XDECREF(path_obj) on all function exit paths (both success and error paths)
This ensures proper reference counting without changing the function's behavior
Testing:
The leak can be reproduced using the steps in issue #28046 with Python built with --with-address-sanitizer. This fix ensures the reference is properly released.
Fixes#28046

Fix Python Scalar typing issue #27528#27620
- Add ScalarInput and ScalarOutput types for better type safety
- ScalarInput: Union[Sequence[float], float] for function parameters
- ScalarOutput: Sequence[float] for function return values
- Keep original Scalar type for backwards compatibility (deprecated)
- Add refinement functions to apply new types to specific functions
- Functions returning scalars now use ScalarOutput (mean, sumElems, trace)
- Drawing functions now use ScalarInput for color parameters
- Resolves MyPy compatibility issues with scalar return values
- Maintains full backwards compatibility

Extend image I/O API with metadata support #27499
Covered with the PR:
* AVIF encoder can write exif, xmp, icc
* AVIF decoder can read exif
* JPEG encoder can write exif
* JPEG decoder can read exif
* PNG encoder can write exif
* PNG decoder can read exif
This PR is a sort of preamble for #27488. I suggest to merge this one first to OpenCV 4.x, then promote this change to OpenCV 5.x and then provide extra API to read and write metadata in 5.x (or maybe 4.x) in a style similar to #27488. Maybe in that PR exif packing/unpacking should be done using a separate external API. That is, metadata reading and writing can/should be done in 2 steps:
* [1] pack and then [2] embed exif into image at the encoding stage.
* [1] extract and then [2] unpack exif at the decoding stage.

Consider QRCode ECI encoding #24426
### Pull Request Readiness Checklist
related: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/24350#pullrequestreview-1661658421
1. Add `getEncoding` method to obtain ECI number
2. Add `detectAndDecodeBytes`, `decodeBytes`, `decodeBytesMulti`, `detectAndDecodeBytesMulti` methods in Python (return `bytes`) and Java (return `byte[]`)
3. Allow Python bytes to std::string conversion in general and add `encode(byte[] encoded_info, Mat qrcode)` in Java
Python example with Kanji encoding:
```python
img = cv.imread("test.png")
detect = cv.QRCodeDetector()
data, points, straight_qrcode = detect.detectAndDecodeBytes(img)
print(data)
print(detect.getEncoding(), cv.QRCodeEncoder_ECI_SHIFT_JIS)
print(data.decode("shift-jis"))
```

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.

python: attempts to fix 3d mat parsing problem for dnn #25810
Fixes https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/25762https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/23242
Relates https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/25763https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/19091
Although `cv.Mat` has already been introduced to workaround this problem, people do not know it and it kind of leads to confusion with `numpy.array`. This patch adds a "switch" to turn off the auto multichannel feature when the API is from cv::dnn::Net (more specifically, `setInput`) and the parameter is of type `Mat`. This patch only leads to changes of three places in `pyopencv_generated_types_content.h`:
```.diff
static PyObject* pyopencv_cv_dnn_dnn_Net_setInput(PyObject* self, PyObject* py_args, PyObject* kw)
{
...
- pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 0)) &&
+ pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 8)) &&
...
}
// I guess we also need to change this as one-channel blob is expected for param
static PyObject* pyopencv_cv_dnn_dnn_Net_setParam(PyObject* self, PyObject* py_args, PyObject* kw)
{
...
- pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 0)) )
+ pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 8)) )
...
- pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 0)) )
+ pyopencv_to_safe(pyobj_blob, blob, ArgInfo("blob", 8)) )
...
}
```
Others are unchanged, e.g. `dnn_SegmentationModel` and stuff like that.
