[PATCH 4/4] perf script: Output branch sample type

From: James Clark
Date: Mon Mar 07 2022 - 12:19:45 EST


The type info is saved when using '-j save_type'. Output this in perf
script so it can be accessed by other tools or for debugging.

It's appended to the end of the list of fields so any existing tools
that split on / and access fields via an index are not affected. Also
output '-' instead of 'N/A' when the branch type isn't saved because /
is used as a field separator.

Entries before this change look like this:

0xaaaadb350838/0xaaaadb3507a4/P/-/-/0

And afterwards like this:

0xaaaadb350838/0xaaaadb3507a4/P/-/-/0/CALL

or this if no type info is saved:

0x7fb57586df6b/0x7fb5758731f0/P/-/-/143/-
