Jonas Perolini 853ee9b961 Merge pull request #29329 from JonasPerolini:get-border-errors-once
Optimization ArUco: get border errors in one pass for both normal and inverted markers #29329

This PR is a follow up to optimization in https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/29267.

## Context:

When detecting inverted markers, we call `_getBorderErrors` twice:
- `int borderErrors = _getBorderErrors(cellPixelRatio, ...);`
- `Mat invCellPixelRatio = 1.f - cellPixelRatio;`
- `int invBError = _getBorderErrors(invCellPixelRatio, ...);`

meaning:

1. Scan border cells once.
2. Allocate a new Mat.
3. Invert the entire `cellPixelRatio` matrix, not just the border.
4. Scan border cells again on the inverted matrix.
5. If inverted marker is better, copy the full inverted matrix back

## Solution

only call `_getBorderErrors` once and compute both 
- borderErrors: `cellPixelRatio > validBitIdThreshold`
- invBorderErrors: `1 - cellPixelRatio > validBitIdThreshold`

This saves: 
1. full invert into temporary Mat: (`Mat invCellPixelRatio = 1.f - cellPixelRatio;`)
2. scan temporary border: the second `_getBorderErrors`
3. copy temporary Mat back into `cellPixelRatio`: `invCellPixelRatio.copyTo(cellPixelRatio);`

Note that the solution does not implement: 

```
 if(params.detectInvertedMarker) {
    _getBorderErrorsBoth(...);
} else {
    borderErrors = _getBorderErrors(...);
}
```

because the extra cost to computing invBorderErrors: `if(1.f - ratio > validBitIdThreshold) invBorderErrors++;` is negligible. this also avoids having to maintain two functions: `_getBorderErrorsBoth` and `_getBorderErrors`

## Tests:

No visible results when testing the full marker detection pipeline because this step is not expensive. There is a roughly 8% noise when re-running the marker detections making it hard to spot small speed diffs. 

When testing only this specific step with a float matrix of size: `(markerSize + 2*border)^2` on a AMD Ryzen 7 (8 cores / 16 threads):
 
-  The new code is 30-45× faster at this stage depending on the marker size and whether the candidate was actually an inverted one, saving ~530-580 ns per candidate, mainly because we removed `Mat invCellPixelRatio = 1.f - cellPixelRatio`
- The new code is equivalent when detecting non-inverted markers +/- 3 ns
