[PATCH 2/9] perf thread-stack: Report branch stack hw_idx as not available

thread_stack__br_sample() and thread_stack__br_sample_late() fill a
caller-supplied branch_stack that is typically allocated with zalloc(),
leaving hw_idx as 0. Zero is a valid hardware index, so consumers that
honour PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX see a reconstructed branch stack
claiming to start at LBR TOS entry 0.

These branch stacks are reconstructed from instruction trace and have no
hardware index at all. Set hw_idx to -1ULL, which is the established way
to say "not available" and matches what intel-pt and cs-etm already put
in the branch stacks they synthesise directly.
