Uses a light tree to more effectively sample scenes with many lights. This can
significantly reduce noise, at the cost of a somewhat longer render time per
sample.
Light tree sampling is enabled by default. It can be disabled in the Sampling >
Lights panel. Scenes using light clamping or ray visibility tricks may render
different as these are biased techniques that depend on the sampling strategy.
The implementation is currently disabled on AMD HIP. This is planned to be fixed
before the release.
Implementation by Jeffrey Liu, Weizhen Huang, Alaska and Brecht Van Lommel.

* 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.
