Adrian Hunter bea6385789 perf intel-pt: Implement decoder flags for trace begin / end
Have the Intel PT decoder implement the new Intel PT decoder flags for
trace begin / end.

Previously, the decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch from / to
zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace ends
with a call. That happens when using address filters, for example:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,mtc_period=0,noretcomp/u --filter='filter main @ /bin/uname ' uname Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data ]

Before:
