The multi-dimensional Sobol pattern required us to carefully use as low
dimensions as possible, as quality goes down in higher dimensions. Now that we
have two sampling patterns that are at least as good, there is no need to keep
it around and the implementation can be simplified.

For transparency, volume and light intersection rays, adjust these distances
rather than the ray start position. This way we increment the start distance
by the smallest possible float increment to avoid self intersections, and be
sure it works as the distance compared to be will be exactly the same as
before, due to the ray start position and direction remaining the same.

* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers.
* Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details
to the source files.
* Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts.
* Update copyright dates while we're at it.

This patch exposes the sampling offset option to Blender. It is located in the "Sampling > Advanced" panel.
For example, this can be useful to parallelize rendering and distribute different chunks of samples for each computer to render.

I also had to add this option to `RenderWork` and `RenderScheduler` classes so that the sample count in the status string can be calculated correctly.

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
