perf tests: Harden branch stack sampling test

On continuous testing the perf script output can be empty, or nearly
empty, causing tr/grep to exit and due to "set -e" the test traps and
fails.

Add some empty file handling that sets the test to skip and make grep
and other text rewriting failures non-fatal by adding "|| true".
