perf/x86/amd: Add branch-brs helper event for Fam19h BRS
Add a pseudo event called branch-brs to help use the FAM Fam19h Branch Sampling feature (BRS). BRS samples taken branches, so it is best used when sampling on a retired taken branch event (0xc4) which is what BRS captures. Instead of trying to remember the event code or actual event name, users can simply do: $ perf record -b -e cpu/branch-brs/ -c 1000037 .....
