- check boundary strictly
 - initialize the variable before using it

- Fix StereoBM ROI (Region of interest) selection for stereo
images used by block matching algorithm

The docstring for one of the Python sample programs includes a link to the research paper describing the main algorithm. That link is no longer valid (results in a 404 error) so this update replaces it with another link from the same institution which is currently valid.

- more aggressive cache for files under CMAKE_BINARY_CACHE
  * don't re-read files MD5
  * don't repack archives
- add support for ENV{OPENCV_DOWNLOAD_PATH}
- added ID parameter as project/group identifier
- non-flat .cache directory (based on ID)
- download message prefix based on ID
- more detailed logging via ocv_download_log() macro
- force .gitignore file for .cache folder (with '*' pattern)

AffineBasedEstimator crashed when called with an existing CameraParameters.
This happens e.g. when using Stitcher in SCANS mode.
CameraraParameters is now cleared before any calculation is executed.

Addressed comments.

This test case uses a matrix with more dimensions than columns. Without
the fix in
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/8448/commits/b45e784bebe318826bb48a41023db3fe1660d91e
this crashes with a segmentation fault, hangs or simply fails with wrong
values.

Stitcher will now make a working copy of the CameraParams object to avoid side effects when composing Panorama.
Makes it possible to estimate transform once and then compose multiple panoramas. Useful for setup with fixed cameras.

This issue concerns only matrices with more dimensions than columns.

* export SVM::trainAuto to python #7224

* workaround for ABI compatibility of SVM::trainAuto

* add parameter comments to new SVM::trainAuto function

* Export ParamGrid member variables
