* added basic support for CV_16F (the new datatype etc.). CV_USRTYPE1 is now equal to CV_16F, which may break some [rarely used] functionality. We'll see
* fixed just introduced bug in norm; reverted errorneous changes in Torch importer (need to find a better solution)
* addressed some issues found during the PR review
* restored the patch to fix some perf test failures
* may be an typo fix
* remove identical branch,may be paste error
* add parentheses around macro parameter
* simplify if condition
* check malloc fail
* change the condition of branch removed by commit 3041502861318c85d901e8c08226ff67898c77ed
* rewrote Mat::convertTo() and convertScaleAbs() to wide universal intrinsics; added always-available and SIMD-optimized FP16<=>FP32 conversion
* fixed compile warnings
* fix some more compile errors
* slightly relaxed accuracy threshold for int->float conversion (since we now do it using single-precision arithmetics, not double-precision)
* fixed compile errors on iOS, Android and in the baseline C++ version (intrin_cpp.hpp)

fix some errors found by static analyzer. (#12391)
* fix possible divided by zero and by negative values
* only 4 elements are used in these arrays
* fix uninitialized member
* use boolean type for semantic boolean variables
* avoid invalid array index
* to avoid exception and because base64_beg is only used in this block
* use std::atomic<bool> to avoid thread control race condition
* Add HPX backend for OpenCV implementation
Adds hpx backend for cv::parallel_for_() calls respecting the nstripes chunking parameter. C++ code for the backend is added to modules/core/parallel.cpp. Also, the necessary changes to cmake files are introduced.
Backend can operate in 2 versions (selectable by cmake build option WITH_HPX_STARTSTOP): hpx (runtime always on) and hpx_startstop (start and stop the backend for each cv::parallel_for_() call)
* WIP: Conditionally include hpx_main.hpp to tests in core module
Header hpx_main.hpp is included to both core/perf/perf_main.cpp and core/test/test_main.cpp.
The changes to cmake files for linking hpx library to above mentioned test executalbles are proposed but have issues.
* Add coditional iclusion of hpx_main.hpp to cpp cpu modules
* Remove start/stop version of hpx backend
