* Python wrapper for detail
* hide pyrotationwrapper
* copy code in pyopencv_rotationwarper.hpp
* move ImageFeatures MatchInfo and CameraParams in core/misc/
* add python test for detail
* move test_detail in test_stitching
* rename
* added performance test for compareHist
* compareHist reworked to use wide universal intrinsics
* Disabled vectorization for CV_COMP_CORREL and CV_COMP_BHATTACHARYYA if f64 is unsupported
* Added performance tests for hal::norm functions
* Added sum of absolute differences intrinsic
* norm implementation updated to use wide universal intrinsics
* improve and fix v_reduce_sad on VSX
- add infrastructure support for Power9/VSX3
- fix missing VSX flags on GCC4.9 and CLANG4(#13210, #13222)
- fix disable VSX optimzation on GCC by using flag ENABLE_VSX
- flag ENABLE_VSX is deprecated now, use CPU_BASELINE, CPU_DISPATCH instead
- add VSX3 to arithmetic dispatchable flags
* Support for Matx read/write by FileStorage
* Only empty filestorage read now produces default Matx. Split Matx IO test into smaller units. Test checks for exception thrown if reading a Mat into a Matx of different size.
* significantly reduced OpenCV binary size by disabling IPP calls in some OpenCV functions: Sobel, Scharr, medianBlur, GaussianBlur, filter2D, mean, meanStdDev, norm, sum, minMaxIdx, sort.
* re-enable IPP in norm, since it's much faster (without adding too much space overhead)
* Updated boxFilter implementations to use wide universal intrinsics
* boxFilter implementation moved to separate file
* Replaced ROUNDUP macro with roundUp() function
* 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
