docs(imgproc): clarify cv::moments behavior for degenerate contours #28227

relates to https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28222
Clarifies that for degenerate contours (single point or collinear points),
cv::moments() returns m00 == 0 and centroid is undefined.
Documents common workarounds such as boundingRect center or point averaging.

@note Only applicable to contour moments calculations from Python bindings: Note that the numpy
type for the input array should be either np.int32 or np.float32.
@note For contour-based moments, the zeroth-order moment \c m00 represents
the contour area.
If the input contour is degenerate (for example, a single point or all points
are collinear), the area is zero and therefore \c m00 == 0.
In this case, the centroid coordinates (\c m10/m00, \c m01/m00) are undefined
and must be handled explicitly by the caller.
A common workaround is to compute the center using cv::boundingRect() or by
averaging the input points.
