There may be discontinuities in the ETM trace stream due to overflows or
ETM configuration for selective trace.  This patch emits an instruction
sample with the pending branch stack when a TRACE ON packet occurs
indicating a discontinuity in the trace data.

A new packet type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON is added, which is emitted by the low
level decoder when a TRACE ON occurs.  The higher level decoder flushes the
branch stack when this packet is emitted.
