When setting a wrong kernel size, the error message only tells the user that it
must be odd, however the conditions for rejection include values > 7 which must
be communicated. Without that, the message would be incorrect and confusing if
the user is unaware that only values 3, 5, 7 are accepted.

HAVE_IPP_ICV_ONLY will be undefined if OpenCV was linked against ICV packet from IPP9 or greater. ICV9+ packets will be aligned with IPP in OpenCV APIs
This will ease code management between IPP and ICV

IPP_VERSION_MAJOR * 100 + IPP_VERSION_MINOR*10 + IPP_VERSION_UPDATE
to manage changes between updates more easily.

IPP_DISABLE_BLOCK was added to ease tracking of disabled IPP functions;

Minor changes to IPP implementations;

Avoid stack overflow based on std::vector cause
std::vector::resize() segmentation fault.

IPP can be switched on and off on runtime;

Optional implementation collector was added (switched off by default in CMake). Gathers data of implementation used in functions and report this info through performance TS;

TS modifications for implementations control;

1. someMatrix.data -> someMatrix.prt()
2. someMatrix.data + someMatrix.step * lineIndex -> someMatrix.ptr( lineIndex )
3. (SomeType*) someMatrix.data -> someMatrix.ptr<SomeType>()
4. someMatrix.data -> !someMatrix.empty() ( or !someMatrix.data -> someMatrix.empty() ) in logical expressions

Canny uncommented, prefix of ipp function changed. Ipp version of Canny called only for images with one channels

fixed building OpenCV with IPP 6.x (different DFT API); added Canny and rectangular morphology (based on Alex Kapustin patches)

replaced "const InputArray&" => "InputArray"; made InputArray and OutputArray references. added "None()" constant (no array()).

a big patch; use special proxy types (Input/OutputArray, Input/OutputArrayOfArrays) for passing in vectors, matrices etc.
