[PATCH V2 2/6] perf db-export: Add trace begin / end branch type variants

[Adrian Hunter]

Add branch types to cover different combinations with "trace begin" or
"trace end".

Previously, the Intel PT decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch
from / to zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace
ends with a call. Before remedying that, prepare the database export to
export branch types with more combinations that include trace begin / end.
In those cases extend the descriptions to include 'trace begin' and
'trace end' separately.
