perf tools: Add branch counter knob

perf tools: Add branch counter knob

Add a new branch filter, "counter", for the branch counter option. It is
used to mark the events which should be logged in the branch. If it is
applied with the -j option, the counters of all the events should be
logged in the branch. If the legacy kernel doesn't support the new
branch sample type, switching off the branch counter filter.

The stored counter values in each branch are displayed right after the
regular branch stack information via perf report -D.

Usage examples:

  # perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter

Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Both
branch-instructions and branch-misses are marked as logged events.  The
occurrences information of them can be found in the branch stack
extension space of each branch.

  # perf record -e "{cpu/branch-instructions,branch_type=any/,cpu/branch-misses,branch_type=counter/}"

Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Only the
branch-misses event is marked as a logged event.

Committer notes:

I noticed 'perf test "Sample parsing"' failing, reported to the list and
Kan provided a patch that checks if the evsel has a leader and that
evsel->evlist is set, the comment in the source code further explains
it.
