Transfer SIFT to the main repository #16736

@ychechik

Description

@ychechik

As of the day after tomorrow (7.3.20) the patent on SIFT will expire and so it should be free to use.

Moving it out of the non-free folder will enable all to compile opencv with default flags and still get SIFT (will also help for the python binding as it doesn't compile the non-free folder).
