[PATCH v1 4/4] perf script: enable printing of branch stack

[Stephane Eranian]

This patch improves perf script by enabling printing of the
branch stack via the 'brstack' argument 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 are filtering used.
