perf branch: Extend branch type classification

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.

Committer note:

Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:
