Update reference to sampling algorithm in analyze.c

Browse Source 
Commit 83e176ec1 moved row sampling functions from analyze.c to
utils/misc/sampling.c, but failed to update comment referring to
the sampling algorithm from Jeff Vitter's paper. Correct the
comment by pointing to utils/misc/sampling.c.
