Previously we used a 1D sequence to select a light, and another 2D sequence
to sample a point on the light. For multiple lights this meant each light
would get a random subset of a 2D stratified sequence, which is not
guaranteed to be stratified anymore.
Now we use only a 2D sequence, split into segments along the X axis, one for
each light. The samples that fall within a segment then each are a stratified
sequence, at least in the limit. So for example for two lights, we split up
the unit square into two segments [0,0.5[ x [0,1[ and [0.5,1[ x [0,1[.
This doesn't make much difference in most scenes, mainly helps if you have a
few large area lights or some types of HDR backgrounds.
