Implement printing full disassembled sequences for branch stacks in perf
script. This allows to directly print hot paths for individual samples,
together with branch misprediction and even cycle count information.

Open issues:
- Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be freezed earlier.
