[PATCH V7 11/17] perf, core: expose LBR call stack to user perf tool

[Kan Liang]

From: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z.yan@xxxxxxxxx>

With LBR call stack feature enable, there are two call chain data
sources, traditional frame pointer and LBR call stack.
This patch extends the perf_callchain_entry struct to mark the available
call chain source.
The frame pointer is still output as PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN data format.
The LBR call stack data will be output as PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data
format.

Note: The LBR call stack is only available for user callchain. The
kernel is always got from frame pointers.
The user space perf tool also need to be changed to handle these two
sources.
