perf sort: Separate out branch stack specific sort keys
Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains no branch infomation. It's because those sort keys reference branch info of a hist entry unconditionally. Maybe we can change it checks whether such branch info is valid or not. But if the branch stacks are not recorded, it'd be nop. Thus it'd be better to make those keys are unselectable. This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get following message rather than a segfault.
