perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL
Add a new branch sample type to cover only call branches (function calls). The current ANY_CALL included direct, indirect calls and far jumps. We want to be able to differentiate indirect from direct calls. Therefore we introduce PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. The implementation is up to each architecture.
