### Summary
This PR improves SIMD coverage for masked `cv::accumulate()` on 4-channel images.
The existing masked accumulate SIMD implementation has special paths for `cn == 1` and `cn == 3`, while 4-channel images fall back to the general implementation. This PR adds `cn == 4` SIMD paths using OpenCV Universal Intrinsics.

Modified files:
- `modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp`
- Add masked `cn == 4` SIMD paths for:
- `CV_32FC4 -> CV_32FC4`
- `CV_8UC4 -> CV_32FC4`
- `modules/video/test/test_accum.cpp`
- Add deterministic correctness regression tests for the new masked 4-channel accumulate paths.
- `modules/imgproc/perf/perf_accumulate.cpp`
- Add performance coverage for masked 4-channel accumulate.
imgproc: add SIMD paths for masked 4-channel accumulate #29094
### Implementation
The new SIMD branches are added in:
- `modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp`
They handle:
- `src`: `CV_32FC4`, `dst`: `CV_32FC4`, `mask`: `CV_8UC1`
- `src`: `CV_8UC4`, `dst`: `CV_32FC4`, `mask`: `CV_8UC1`
For the `CV_32FC4` path, the implementation uses `v_load_deinterleave`, applies the pixel mask to all 4 channels, accumulates into `dst`, and stores the result with `v_store_interleave`.
For the `CV_8UC4 -> CV_32FC4` path, the implementation loads 4 interleaved uchar channels, applies the pixel mask, widens the values to float, accumulates into `dst`, and stores the results back as interleaved `CV_32FC4`.
The masked SIMD block is guarded with:
```cpp
if (x <= len - cVectorWidth)
{
...
}
```
This check ensures that SIMD setup and vector operations are only executed when at least one full vector iteration can run. For very small inputs or tail-only cases, the function skips SIMD initialization and lets the existing scalar fallback handle the data through `acc_general_(src, dst, mask, len, cn, x)`.
This keeps tail handling unchanged and avoids unnecessary SIMD initialization when the vector loop would be skipped.
### Accuracy tests
Added a deterministic regression test in:
* `modules/video/test/test_accum.cpp`
New test:
```bash
Video_Acc.accuracy_32FC4_masked_cn4
Video_Acc.accuracy_8UC4_to_32FC4_masked_cn4
```
Test commands:
```bash
opencv_test_video --gtest_filter=Video_Acc.accuracy_32FC4_masked_cn4
opencv_test_video --gtest_filter=Video_Acc.accuracy_8UC4_to_32FC4_masked_cn4
opencv_test_video --gtest_filter="Video_Acc.*:Video_AccSquared.*:Video_AccProduct.*:Video_RunningAvg.*"
```
The filtered accumulate-related tests passed locally.
I added dedicated deterministic tests instead of only extending the existing randomized accumulate tests because this PR only changes the masked `cv::accumulate()` paths for specific 4-channel type combinations. It does not add `cn == 4` SIMD coverage for `accumulateSquare`, `accumulateProduct`, or `accumulateWeighted`.
The existing base accumulate tests are shared by several accumulation functions. Extending the common randomized channel selection to include `cn == 4` would also affect tests for functions that are not optimized by this PR. The new deterministic tests directly cover the modified paths:
* `cv::accumulate(src, dst, mask)`
* `CV_32FC4 -> CV_32FC4`
* `CV_8UC4 -> CV_32FC4`
* `mask`: `CV_8UC1`
The test also covers small sizes and non-vector-multiple sizes, so both the new SIMD path and the existing scalar tail fallback are exercised.
### Performance tests
Added performance coverage in:
* `modules/imgproc/perf/perf_accumulate.cpp`
Perf command:
```bash
opencv_perf_imgproc --gtest_filter="*AccumulateMask32FC4*" --perf_min_samples=1000 --perf_force_samples=1000
opencv_perf_imgproc --gtest_filter="*AccumulateMask8UC4To32FC4*" --perf_min_samples=1000 --perf_force_samples=1000
```
Test environment:
* Release build
* AVX2 enabled
* IPP disabled
* OpenCL disabled
* Windows MinGW build
Performance results:
`CV_32FC4 -> CV_32FC4`
| Size | Before median | After median | Speedup |
| --------- | ------------- | ------------ | ------- |
| 1920x1080 | 3.07 ms | 2.74 ms | 1.12x |

| 640x480 | 0.17 ms | 0.16 ms | 1.06x |
| 320x240 | 0.04 ms | 0.04 ms | ~1.00x |
`CV_8UC4 -> CV_32FC4`

### Build and test commands
The following commands were run from Windows `cmd.exe`.
```sh
cmake -S . -B build_release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=ON -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mstackrealign -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mstackrealign
cmake --build build_release --target opencv_test_video -j 4
build_release\bin\opencv_test_video.exe --gtest_filter=Video_Acc.accuracy_32FC4_masked_cn4
build_release\bin\opencv_test_video.exe --gtest_filter=Video_Acc.accuracy_8UC4_to_32FC4_masked_cn4
build_release\bin\opencv_test_video.exe --gtest_filter=Video_Acc.*:Video_AccSquared.*:Video_AccProduct.*:Video_RunningAvg.*
```
Accuracy test commands passed locally.
For the performance comparison, I kept the new perf test in `modules/imgproc/perf/perf_accumulate.cpp` and only reverted `modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp` to measure the baseline. Then I restored the SIMD patch and measured the optimized version.
Baseline measurement:
```sh
git diff -- modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp > accum_cn4_simd.patch
git checkout -- modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp
mkdir perf_logs
cmake -S . -B build_perf_before -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mstackrealign -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mstackrealign > perf_logs\before_cmake_config.txt 2>&1
cmake --build build_perf_before --target opencv_perf_imgproc -j 4 > perf_logs\before_build.txt 2>&1
build_perf_before\bin\opencv_perf_imgproc.exe --gtest_filter=*AccumulateMask32FC4* --perf_min_samples=1000 --perf_force_samples=1000 > perf_logs\before_perf.txt 2>&1
```
```sh
git diff -- modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp > accum_cn4_u8_simd.patch
git checkout -- modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp
cmake -S . -B build_perf_before_u8 -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mstackrealign -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mstackrealign
cmake --build build_perf_before_u8 --target opencv_perf_imgproc -j 4
build_perf_before_u8\bin\opencv_perf_imgproc.exe --gtest_filter=*AccumulateMask8UC4To32FC4* --perf_min_samples=1000 --perf_force_samples=1000 > perf_logs\before_perf1.txt 2>&1
```
Optimized measurement:
```sh
git apply accum_cn4_simd.patch
cmake -S . -B build_perf_after -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mstackrealign -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mstackrealign > perf_logs\after_cmake_config.txt 2>&1
cmake --build build_perf_after --target opencv_perf_imgproc -j 4 > perf_logs\after_build.txt 2>&1
build_perf_after\bin\opencv_perf_imgproc.exe --gtest_filter=*AccumulateMask32FC4* --perf_min_samples=500 --perf_force_samples=500 > perf_logs\after_perf.txt 2>&1
```
```sh
git apply accum_cn4_u8_simd.patch
cmake -S . -B build_perf_after_u8 -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mstackrealign -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mstackrealign
cmake --build build_perf_after_u8 --target opencv_perf_imgproc -j 4
build_perf_after_u8\bin\opencv_perf_imgproc.exe --gtest_filter=*AccumulateMask8UC4To32FC4* --perf_min_samples=1000 --perf_force_samples=1000 > perf_logs\after_perf1.txt 2>&1
```
Performance comparison was measured by keeping the new perf tests and only reverting modules/imgproc/src/accum.simd.hpp for the baseline run.
`-mstackrealign` was used for the MinGW Windows build to avoid stack-alignment issues with AVX code generation during local testing.
### Notes
The implementation keeps the existing scalar fallback path unchanged. SIMD is used only for the newly covered masked `cn == 4` vectorizable part, and any remaining tail elements are still handled by `acc_general_()`.
The improvement is most visible on larger images. Small images are dominated by overhead and do not always show meaningful speedup.
- removed tr1 usage (dropped in C++17)
- moved includes of vector/map/iostream/limits into ts.hpp
- require opencv_test + anonymous namespace (added compile check)
- fixed norm() usage (must be from cvtest::norm for checks) and other conflict functions
- added missing license headers
