Move some modules out of OTB

Sub issue from from #1716 (closed). To be discussed here.

The proposal is to move the following modules out of OTB and make them remote modules hosted on OTB main gitlab: https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/remote_modules

Some of the OTB modules are barely used, poorly validated, and/or really specific.

  • OBIA/RCC8 (cmon, this is my internship code back in 2006, I doubt anyone used it since then!)
  • Registration/DisplacementField (more a proof of concept than anything else)
  • Feature/SeamCarving (any practical application of this in remote sensing ?)
  • Detection/ObjectDetection Code for an old object detection IGARSS publication. Not even deep.
  • Detection/UrbanArea I think this is the code of another IGARSS pub. Not sure it even works.
  • Detection/RoadExtraction Another IGARSS publication code. Not used I think.
  • Detection/CloudDetection Any inputs on this one?
  • Learning/Markov Could be useful, but poorly known or used as of today
  • Radiometry/Simulation interesting but is it really useful to the main OTB audience?
