* Replaced most remaining sprintf with snprintf
* Deprecated encodeFormat and introduced new method that takes the buffer length
* Also increased buffer size at call sites to be a little bigger, in case int is 64 bit
Replaced sprintf with safer snprintf
* Straightforward replacement of sprintf with safer snprintf
* Trickier replacement of sprintf with safer snprintf
Some functions were changed to take another parameter: the size of the buffer, so that they can pass that size on to snprintf.
* fixed#17044
1. fixed Python part of the tutorial about using OpenCV XML-YAML-JSON I/O functionality from C++ and Python.
2. added startWriteStruct() and endWriteStruct() methods to FileStorage
3. modifed FileStorage::write() methods to make them work well inside sequences, not only mappings.
* try to fix the doc builder
* added Python regression test for FileStorage I/O API ([TODO] iterating through long sequences can be very slow)
* fixed yaml testing
* integrated the new C++ persistence; removed old persistence; most of OpenCV compiles fine! the tests have not been run yet
* fixed multiple bugs in the new C++ persistence
* fixed raw size of the parsed empty sequences
* [temporarily] excluded obsolete applications traincascade and createsamples from build
* fixed several compiler warnings and multiple test failures
* undo changes in cocoa window rendering (that was fixed in another PR)
* fixed more compile warnings and the remaining test failures (hopefully)
* trying to fix the last little warning
