Shelia J. fb90451e95 Merge pull request #29361 from SheliaJimenez:xfeat-feature
Xfeat feature - #29361

## PR Description

### Summary

Integrate XFeat into OpenCV's `features` module as a native `Feature2D` implementation, enabling lightweight neural feature detection and descriptor extraction through OpenCV's standard feature extraction API.

---

### What's included

#### New class

- **`cv::XFeat`** extends `Feature2D`
  - CNN-based keypoint detection
  - 64-D descriptor extraction via ONNX/DNN
  - Score-map based keypoint selection
  - Descriptor sampling from the dense feature map

---

### Files added

| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `src/feature2d_xfeat.cpp` | XFeat `Feature2D` implementation |
| `test/test_xfeat.cpp` | XFeat unit and regression tests |

---

### Files modified

- `features.hpp`
  - Add `cv::XFeat` declaration and public factory APIs

---

### Usage

```cpp
#include <opencv2/features.hpp>

using namespace cv;

// Feature extraction
Ptr<XFeat> xfeat =
    XFeat::create("xfeat.onnx", 2000, 0.5f, 640);

std::vector<KeyPoint> keypoints;
Mat descriptors;

xfeat->detectAndCompute(image, noArray(), keypoints, descriptors);
```

---


### Test dependency

Depends on the opencv_extra changes adding the XFeat ONNX model and reference outputs.

Required test data:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1383

- `xfeat.onnx`
- `xfeat_lena_640_kpts.npy`
- `xfeat_lena_640_desc.npy`

These files are required for the `Features2d_XFeat` tests in the main OpenCV repository to validate XFeat feature extraction and descriptor generation.
