- Remove unused compatibility operations and use focused Pillow and NumPy paths to reduce maintained fallback code.
- Preserve numerical decisions and hot-path performance with exact regression coverage and bounded algorithms.
- Preserve INTER_LINEAR uint8 reductions within one LSB while retaining the resize performance budget and numeric RGBA handling.
- Restore repeated-endpoint contour anchors and bound cross-platform chamfer coefficient drift in regression tests.

Text fallback now renders through Pillow with the DejaVu Sans face
resolved via matplotlib font_manager, replacing the Hershey stroke-font
reader; getTextSize metrics derive from the same font and differ from
OpenCV within the documented visual-divergence tier.
Remove the packaged Hershey glyph data (hershey_fonts.json, provenance,
license) and its _cv2/data package-data entry.
Delete unused fallbacks: _geometry _fill_poly and _point_in_polygon
(live fillPoly is the Pillow one in _drawing) and _common _unavailable.
Replace test_hershey with Pillow-oriented test_text, drop test_common,
and point test_contours/test_geometry at _drawing._fill_poly. Document
the fallback text-backend change in the changelog.
