Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf test: Add branch stack sampling tests for ARM64

Adds two shell script tests in order to test branch stack sampling on
ARM64 plarforms. This functionality is enabled by the Branch Record
Buffer Extension (BRBE) on Arm.

Information about BRBE can be found in [1] chapter F1.
