Teddy-Yangjiale 666ad5bfcf Merge pull request #29058 from Teddy-Yangjiale:rvv-opt
RISC-V: add RVV convertScale paths for selected depth conversions #29058

### Summary

This PR extends the RISC-V RVV HAL `convertScale` implementation with optimized paths for selected `convertTo()` depth conversions:

- `CV_32F -> CV_8U`
- `CV_16U -> CV_32F`
- `CV_16S -> CV_32F`

The change is confined to `hal/riscv-rvv/src/core/convert_scale.cpp`. It does not modify the generic `convertTo()` implementation or affect dispatch for non-RISC-V targets.

### Rationale

`Mat::convertTo()` reaches architecture-specific implementations through the HAL `convertScale` interface. Adding these paths in the RVV HAL keeps the optimization in the existing backend layer and avoids introducing RISC-V-specific branches into common OpenCV code.

The selected conversions were chosen based on measured benefit and practical relevance. `CV_32F -> CV_8U` provides the largest speedup, while `CV_16U -> CV_32F` and `CV_16S -> CV_32F` provide consistent improvements for common image-processing data paths.

### Benchmark

Tested on Banana Pi BPI-F3, an 8-core RISC-V board with RVV 1.0 support.

Build and test configuration:

- OpenCV `4.14.0-pre`
- Release build
- RVV HAL enabled
- Compiler: `riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ 14.2.1`
- Test binary: `opencv_perf_core`
- Test filter: `*convertTo*`
- Samples: `--perf_force_samples=20 --perf_min_samples=20`

Benchmark command:

```bash
./opencv_perf_core \
  --gtest_filter=*convertTo* \
  --perf_force_samples=20 \
  --perf_min_samples=20
```

Each benchmark case was measured with 20 forced samples. The baseline/after comparison was repeated to check run-to-run stability. The optimized conversion pairs showed consistent improvements.

Second-run comparison for the optimized pairs:

```text
OPTIMIZED_PAIRS: 24 cases, gmean 2.6009x

CV_32F -> CV_8U:   16.0718x
CV_16U -> CV_32F:   1.2334x
CV_16S -> CV_32F:   1.1376x
```

`CV_32F -> CV_8U` showed the largest improvement, with speedups in the `14.5x` to `18.8x` range across the tested image sizes, channel counts, and alpha values.

### Notes on Measurement

The initial benchmark run showed noise in conversion pairs not touched by this PR, likely due to board-level variance such as frequency scaling, thermal state, or background scheduling.

A second run showed untouched pairs close to neutral:

```text
UNTOUCHED_OTHER: gmean 0.9941x
```

The optimized conversion pairs remained consistently faster across both runs, with no observed regression in the added RVV paths.
