Make cv::VideoCapture::get return cv::CAP_PROP_UNKNOWN (-1) for unsupported properties #21337
The return value indicating an unsupported property is not consistent across backends.
I stumbled on this issue because my code was determining if a property value is valid if it's non-zero (like the documentation says), which worked fine on macOS, but not on Android.
For example, auto-exposure is not supported on macOS, so get() returns 0. But it is supported on Android and 0 means auto-exposure is off.
I think -1 is the better return value to indicate unsupported properties.
I made changes to all the backends. I think I got every case. This breaks API compatibility for some backends, so I based this on branch 3.4.

Add CAP_PROP_IMAGE_SEQ_START #28844
Resolves https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28843
New CAP_PROP_IMAGE_SEQ_START as an open only property for setting the first frame index when a VideoCap is opening with pattern, squashes test_images TODO.
`CAP_FFMPEG`: forwarded to the image2 demuxers "start_number" option.
`CAP_IMAGES`: Now a WithParams variant so the value reaches open() before probe runs, replaces 0 or 1 auto probe for sequence start.
Property is opt in so default behavior is not affected.
Please note that G_STREAMER is not considered here as I think its out of scope, it already has a "start-index" property and its backend is driven by the pipeline strings rather then these printf patterns.
If an alternative solution is preferred that will not involve a new property or promoting CAP_IMAGES to a "WithParams" variant I don't mind implementing.
