Leo YanandNamhyung Kim a9e99b860f perf cs-etm: Filter synthesized branch samples
The itrace 'c' and 'r' options request synthesized branch events for
calls and returns only. For perf script the default itrace options are
"--itrace=ce", so CS ETM should emit call branches and error events by
default.

CS ETM currently synthesizes a branch sample for every decoded taken
branch whenever branch synthesis is enabled. This produces redundant
jump and conditional branch samples.

Add a branch filter derived from the itrace calls and returns options.
When neither option is set, keep the existing behavior and synthesize all
branch samples. When calls or returns are requested, emit only branch
samples whose flags match the selected branch type, while preserving trace
begin/end markers.

Also update test_arm_coresight_disasm.sh and arm-cs-trace-disasm.py
to use the --itrace=b option for generating branch samples.
