perf_counter: Make callchain samples extensible

Before exposing upstream tools to a callchain-samples ABI, tidy it
up to make it more extensible in the future:

Use markers in the IP chain to denote context, use (u64)-1..-4095 range
for these context markers because we use them for ERR_PTR(), so these
addresses are unlikely to be mapped.
