Sandipan Das 8eaf8ec3c0 perf session: Show branch speculation info in raw dump
Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording
hardware feature. This can be useful for purposes of code optimization.

E.g.

  $ perf record -j any,u ./test_branch
  $ perf report --dump-raw-trace

With the addition of new branch flags, the "brstacksym" fields in perf
script output now shows speculation information after the branch type.
Change the regular expressions accordingly for the test to pass. Since
branch speculation information may vary across platforms, the test does
not look for specific values.

E.g.

  $ perf test -v 110

Before:

  110: Check branch stack sampling                                     :

  test child forked, pid 54154

  + cleanup
  + rm -rf /tmp/__perf_test.program.AfhUI
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!
