Subject: [V5 02/11] perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND

This patch introduces new branch filter PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND which
will extend the existing perf ABI. Various architectures can provide
this functionality with either with HW filtering support (if present)
or with SW filtering of captured branch instructions.
