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
closes#27528

Feat #25150: Pose Graph MST initialization #27423
Implements an MST-based initialisation for pose graphs, as proposed in issue #25150. Both Prim’s and Kruskal’s algorithms were added to the 3D module. These receive a vector of node IDs and a vector of edges (each with source and target IDs and a weight), and return a vector with the resulting edges. These MST implementations treat edges as undirected internally, meaning users only need to provide one direction (A→B or B→A), and duplicates are handled automatically.
Additionally, a new pose graph initialisation method using MST (Prim) was implemented. It constructs the MST over the pose graph, then traverses it to reconstruct node poses. With this, users can call `poseGraph->initializePosesWithMST()` to create an initial solution for the pose graph problem.
A set of test cases validating the implementation was also included.
#### Notes
- The edge weight used in the MST for pose graphs is calculated as:
`weight = || translation || + λ * rotation_angle`,
where λ = 0.485 was determined empirically based on optimiser performance;
- Validated on [Sphere-a](https://lucacarlone.mit.edu/datasets/) pose graph, showing similar convergence behaviour with or without MST initialisation;
- Alternative weight formulas, such as the Mahalanobis distance formula, were also tested, but the current formula yielded better results.
#### Future Work
- Extend testing to more diverse pose graphs (currently limited to [Sphere-a](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/blob/5.x/testdata/cv/rgbd/sphere_bignoise_vertex3.g2o) in opencv_extra)
- Explore adaptive tuning of the λ parameter for broader applicability.

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"))
```
