This builds fine with OpenCV 4.
This builds fine with OpenCV 4 using `enableUnfree`.
These versions have been obsolete for 5 to 10 years, and have been broken since 34cd490 unless the user specifies manual overrides. Given that nobody seems to have reported an issue with them, I conclude that demand for them is minimal and that there’s no need for them to block the removal of OpenCV 2.
Essentially unmaintained upstream for almost a decade, kept alive with treewides and drive‐by fixes, and depends on the deprecated and removed OpenCV C API. Sorry, it looks like a fun toy! Hopefully someone can port it to a newer OpenCV.

Description of changes
The final non‐trivial stretch of the FFmpeg 4 mostly‐removal. It would be sufficient to simply disable FFmpeg support for these versions, but as they are obsolete and were almost unused in‐tree, let’s extend the old versions clean‐up task to OpenCV as well.
opencv3was unreferenced except as part of the already‐brokenhaskellPackages.opencv{,-extra}packages. Those will hopefully be fixed by LumiGuide/haskell-opencv#157 in the future. I confirmed with the Haskell maintainers that the dangling reference inside the automatically‐generatedhaskellPackages.opencvdefinition is desired and that this PR does not break eval; see #336110 for the corresponding clean‐up PR tohaskell-updates.opencv2was referenced by two packages that build fine with the latest version, long‐obsolete (and already broken‐by‐default) versions of Mathematica, and a cute but sadly bitrotten terminal video chat program. See the commit messages for further details and rationales.Things done
