perf: Add system error and not in transaction branch types

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e system error and not in transaction. This also updates the x86
implementation to process X86_BR_NO_TX records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.
