perf record: Add ability to sample call branches

This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record.
It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples
direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect
calls as well.

 $ perf record -j call -e cycles .....

The man page is updated accordingly.
