perf script: Enable printing of branch stack

Browse source 
This patch improves perf script by enabling printing of the
branch stack via the 'brstack' and 'brstacksym' arguments to
the field selection option -F. The option is off by default
and operates only if the perf.data file has branch stack content.

The branches are printed in to/from pairs. The most recent branch
is printed first. The number of branch entries vary based on the
underlying hardware and filtering used.

The brstack prints FROM/TO addresses in raw hexadecimal format.
The brstacksym prints FROM/TO addresses in symbolic form wherever
possible.

 $ perf script -F ip,brstack
  5d3000 0x401aa0/0x5d2000/M/-/-/-/0 ...

 $ perf script -F ip,brstacksym
  4011e0 noploop+0x0/noploop+0x0/P/-/-/0

The notation F/T/M/X/A/C describes the attributes of the branch.
F=from, T=to, M/P=misprediction/prediction, X=TSX, A=TSX abort, C=cycles (SKL)

The brstack output includes branch related information with raw addresses using the
/v/v/v/v/ syntax in the following order:
FROM: branch source instruction
TO : branch target instruction
M/P/-: M=branch target mispredicted or branch direction was mispredicted, P=target predicted or direction predicted, -=not supported
X/- : X=branch inside a transactional region, -=not in transaction region or not supported
A/- : A=TSX abort entry, -=not aborted region or not supported
The brstacksym is identical to brstack, except that the FROM and TO addresses are printed in a symbolic form if possible.
