--perf_instrument parameter now has int type and 0, 1, 2 modes (1 - simple trees, 2 - expanded trees for functions with same name but different calling address);

Maximum depth limit var was added to the instrumentation structure;

Trace names output console output fix: improper tree formatting could happen;
Output in case of error was added;

Custom regions improvements;

Improved timing and weight calculation for parallel regions; New TC (threads counter) value to indicate how many different threads accessed particular node;

parallel_for, warnings fixes and ReturnAddress code from Alexander Alekhin;

fixed invalid output of cv::dft when using DFT_ROWS + DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT (http://code.opencv.org/issues/3428)

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;

fixed invalid output of cv::dft when using DFT_ROWS + DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT (http://code.opencv.org/issues/3428)

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
