Minor cleanup/style changes embedded in the patch as well.
The change corresponds to r2687 in VEX.

the changes to do with reading and using ELF and DWARF3 info.
This breaks all targets except amd64-linux and x86-linux.

--branch-sim=yes is specified, Cachegrind simulates a simple indirect
branch predictor and a conditional branch predictor. The latter
considers both the branch instruction's address and the behaviour of
the last few conditional branches. Return stack prediction is not
modelled.
The new counted events are: conditional branches (Bc), mispredicted
conditional branches (Bcm), indirect branches (Bi) and mispredicted
indirect branches (Bim). Postprocessing tools (cg_annotate, cg_merge)
handle the new events as you would expect. Note that branch
simulation is not enabled by default as it gives a 20%-25% slowdown,
so you need to ask for it explicitly using --branch-sim=yes.
