Stratified matrix sampling
We can easily sample a matrix with rand() function. However, this sampling is sometimes too random - we may end up with rows or columns without any sample and "screw" the downstream code. The canonical solution to this problem is to use stratified sampling. This function implements stratification by both, rows and columns, for a rectangular matrix.
The sampling is without replacement (each field in the matrix can be selected at most once). And we have to provide the count of samples that we want to select.
The function does not use rejection sampling and is reasonably fast (~twice as slow as rand()).
