1284e98ab8 Cycles: use low-distortion mapping when sampling cone and hemisphere
based on concentric disk mapping.
Concentric disk mapping was already present, but not used everywhere.
Now `sample_cos_hemisphere()`, `sample_uniform_hemisphere()`, and
`sample_uniform_cone()` use concentric disk mapping.
This changes the noise in many test images.

41e49d7ece Refactor: group multiple floats to float2 or float3
Multiple random numbers were passed around separately, making some
argument lists unnecessarily long.
No functional changes expected.

ba3f26fac5 Cycles: light and shadow linking
With light linking, lights can be set to affect only specific objects in the
scene. Shadow linking additionally gives control over which objects acts a
shadow blockers for a light.

ac51d331df Refactor: Cycles light sampling code reorganization
* Split light types into own files, move light type specific code from
  light tree and MNEE.
* Move flat light distribution code into own kernel file and host side
  building function, in preparation of light tree addition. Add light/sample.h
  as main entry point to kernel light sampling.
* Better separate calculation of pdf for selecting a light, and pdf for
  sampling a point on the light. The selection pdf is now also stored in
  LightSampling for MNEE to correctly recalculate the full pdf when the
  shading position changes but the point on the light remains fixed.
* Improvement to kernel light storage, using packed_float3, better variable
  names, etc.

Includes contributions by Brecht Van Lommel and Weizhen Huang.

fd25e883e2 Cycles: remove prefix from source code file names
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.
