opensimplex2: Generate Multi-Dimensional Open Simplex Noise

Generate 2, 3 or 4-dimensional gradient noise. The noise function is comparable to classic Perlin noise, but with less directional artefacts and lower computational overhead. It can have applications in procedural generation or (flow fields) simulations.
