tracing/branch-tracer: adapt to the stat tracing API

Impact: refactor the branch tracer

This patch adapts the branch tracer to the tracing API.

This is a proof of concept because the branch tracer implements two
"stat tracing" that were split in two files.

So I added an option to the branch tracer: stat_all_branch.
If it is set, then trace_stat will output all of the branches
entries stats. Otherwise, it will print the annotated branches.

Its is a kind of quick trick, waiting for a better solution.

By default, the annotated branches stat are sorted by incorrect branch
prediction percentage.

Ie:

It enables a developer to quickly address the source of incorrect branch
predictions.  Note that this sorting would be better with a second sort on
the number of incorrect predictions.
