Cycles: add Sobol-Burley sampling pattern

Based on the paper "Practical Hash-based Owen Scrambling" by Brent Burley,
2020, Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques.

It is distinct from the existing Sobol sampler in two important ways:
* It is Owen scrambled, which gives it a much better convergence rate in many
  situations.
* It uses padding for higher dimensions, rather than using higher Sobol
  dimensions directly. In practice this is advantagous because high-dimensional
  Sobol sequences have holes in their sampling patterns that don't resolve
  until an unreasonable number of samples are taken. (See Burley's paper for
  details.)

The pattern reduces noise in some benchmark scenes, however it is also slower,
particularly on the CPU. So for now Progressive Multi-Jittered sampling remains
the default.
