Book 3 Chapter 10.3: the image (Image 11) is too noisy with samples_per_pixel = 1000 #1743

Description

@phqb

In the 3rd book, chapter 10.3, the book outputs this image which is too noisy for such a large samples_per_pixel

<div class='together'>
Updating `main.cc` to 1000 samples per pixel (not listed) yields:
![<span class='num'>Image 11:</span> Cornell box, mixture density of cosine and light sampling
](../images/img-3.11-cosine-and-light.jpg class='pixel')
</div>

Here is my image with samples_per_pixel = 10 which is the same as the book's image
Image

and with samples_per_pixel = 1000
