"hw_index". While here, also updates the documentation.

- no_tx: only when the target is not in a hardware transaction
- abort_tx: only when the target is a hardware transaction abort
- cond: conditional branches
- call_stack: save call stack
- no_flags: don't save branch flags e.g prediction, misprediction etc
- no_cycles: don't save branch cycles
- hw_index: save branch hardware index
- save_type: save branch type during sampling in case binary is not available later
For the platforms with Intel Arch LBR support (12th-Gen+ client or
4th-Gen Xeon+ server), the save branch type is unconditionally enabled
