[Bf-cycles] Procedural Noise clarity

[Thomas Dinges]

Well, we have not changed the procedural textures in years!!
I don't like the argument that developers should stop doing changes just 
due to documentation.
Improving our current procedurals is really needed, and some changes 
there won't hurt.

We always have to make sure we do better. If these changes simplify code 
and usability, do it.
And I agree with Daniel and Brecht here, we have some textures that 
nearly do the same, unifying them is a good way forward.
And again, it's not that we change such things every few weeks. ;-)
