perf: arm_pmuv3: Use BR_RETIRED for HW branch event if enabled

Browse Source 
The PMU driver attempts to use PC_WRITE_RETIRED for the HW branch event,
if enabled. However, PC_WRITE_RETIRED counts only taken branches,
whereas BR_RETIRED counts also non-taken ones.

Furthermore, perf uses HW branch event to calculate branch misses ratio,
implying BR_RETIRED is the correct event to count.

We keep PC_WRITE_RETIRED still as an option in case BR_RETIRED isn't
implemented.
