Fix NaNs in HDR Triangle Weights and Tonemapping and Update LDR Ground Truth in tutorial #27396
The PR closes#27392
Updated the triangle weights to use a small epsilon value instead of zero to prevent NaN issues in HDR processing.
Also fixed a float-to-double division issue by explicitly casting double values to float, which was previously producing garbage values and leading to NaNs in tonemapping.
The current LDR ground truth image used in the tutorial [ldr.png](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/tutorials/others/images/ldr.png) was originally generated using TonemapDurand (check this commit https://github.com/opencv/opencv/commit/833f8d16fab5e57c5e800a55fa0fb08c7a31c3b1), which was moved to opencv_contrib a long time ago in this commit: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/commit/742f22c09bd0c27b450f141bc984f280c8cde98e. However, the current Tonemap implementation in OpenCV main only performs normalization and gamma correction, which produces noticeably different results. This PR updates the LDR grouth truth image in tutorial with the result of TonemapDrago, and tutorials to use TonemapDrago as Tonemap gives a darker image.
Tonemap output:

Removed obsolete python samples #25268
Clean Samples #25006
This PR removes 36 obsolete python samples from the project, as part of an effort to keep the codebase clean and focused on current best practices. Some of these samples will be updated with latest algorithms or will be combined with other existing samples.

These changes aim to improve the repository's clarity and usability by removing examples that are no longer relevant or have been superseded by more up-to-date techniques.
Move API focused C++ samples to snippets #25252
Clean Samples #25006
This PR removes 39 outdated C++ samples from the project, as part of an effort to keep the codebase clean and focused on current best practices.
C-API cleanup: apps, imgproc_c and some constants #25075
Merge with https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/pull/3642
* Removed obsolete apps - traincascade and createsamples (please use older OpenCV versions if you need them). These apps relied heavily on C-API
* removed all mentions of imgproc C-API headers (imgproc_c.h, types_c.h) - they were empty, included core C-API headers
* replaced usage of several C constants with C++ ones (error codes, norm modes, RNG modes, PCA modes, ...) - most part of this PR (split into two parts - all modules and calib+3d - for easier backporting)
* removed imgproc C-API headers (as separate commit, so that other changes could be backported to 4.x)
Most of these changes can be backported to 4.x.
