Subject: [PATCH V2] perf test: Basic branch counter support

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Add a basic test for the branch counter feature.

The test verifies that
- The new filter can be successfully applied on the supported platforms.
- The counter value can be outputted via the perf report -D

Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Changes since V2:
- Update the output msg for the skipped case (Ian)
