[Bf-cycles] Why remove square samples?

[Adriano Oliveira]

Brecht, thank you for your feedback.

I think squared samples is a better approach, as long as small units
increments don't change as much. No matter what, I got used to having it
checked and teach my students to do it so.

I suggest we keep it in 2.79 and discuss it for 2.8 in the context of other
UI changes.

IMPORTANT: Sampling presets are squared samples and did not get revised
after the change.
