[PATCH V2 4/6] perf tools: Improve thread_stack__process() for trace begin / end

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

thread_stack__process() is used to create call paths for database export.
Improve the handling of trace begin / end to allow for a trace that ends in
a call.

Previously, the Intel PT decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch
from / to zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace
ends with a call. Before remedying that, enhance the thread stack so that
it identifies the trace end by the flag instead of by ip == 0.
