Merge pull request #19583 from theroyalpekka:patch-1

* Update polynom_solver.cpp

This pull request is in the response to Issue  #19526. I have fixed the problem with the cube root calculation of 2*R. The Issue was in the usage of pow function with negative values of R, but if it is calculated for only positive values of R then changing x0 according to the parity of R, the Issue is resolved. Kindly consider it, Thanks!

* add cv::cubeRoot(double)
