Subject: [PATCH 19/39] perf auxtrace: Add option to synthesize branch stacks on samples

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

Add AUX area tracing option 'l' to synthesize branch stacks on samples
just like sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK.  This is taken into use
by Intel PT in a subsequent patch.
