perf script: Add 'brstackinsnlen' for branch stacks

Browse Source 
When analyzing with 'perf script', it's useful to understand the
captured instruction and the next sequential instruction.

To calculate the address of the next sequential instruction, the length
of the captured instruction is required.

For example, you can’t know the next sequential instruction after an
unconditional branch unless you calculate that based on its length.

For branch stacks, 'perf script' only prints the instruction bytes with
'brstackinsn', but lacks the instruction length.

Add 'brstackinsnlen' to print the instruction length.

  $ perf script -F ip,brstackinsn,brstackinsnlen --xed

Use brstackinsnlen to print the brstackinsn lenght. For example, you
can’t know the next sequential instruction after an unconditional branch unless
you calculate that based on its length.
The brstackoff field will print an offset into a specific dso/binary.
