Update samples to use more utility functions where

appropriate.

A few places used pseudoRandom. That is in math.js
now so they use that.

Other places there is now 
o3djs.material.createBasicMaterial and 
o3djs.material.createMaterialFromFile that save
10-20 lines per sample.

This CL will require new reference images.

There are 2 other things I'd like to consider.

#1) Changing every sample that uses shaders/texture-only.shader
to use o3djs.material.createConstantMaterial or some variation.

The problem with o3djs.material.createConstantMaterial is it 
requires you pass it a texture if you want a constant textured
material. All the samples create the material first, then 
later add the texture.

So, I could add a new o3djs.material.createTextureOnlyMaterial.

At the same time that would mean changing those samples from
setting stuff on 'texSampler0' to 'emissive'

#2) I'd like to change the shader builder so it stops 
adding "Sampler" to textured materials.  As it is if 
the material uses a color it makes the param called "diffuse" 
but if it's a texture it makes it "diffuseSampler".

That sucks because it means the code has to do crap like

var param = material.getParam('diffuse');
if (param) {
  // it's a color
} else {
  param = material.getParam('diffuseSampler');
  if (param) {
    // it's a texture.
  }
}

If we stopped that silliness we could just do

var param = material.getParam('diffuse');
if (param) {
  if (param.isA('o3d.ParamTexture')) {
    // it's textured.
  } else {
    // it's not.
  }
}

Unfortunately to fix this requires changing the o3dConverter
as well since it uses those conventions.  Should we do this?
