[llvm-profgen] Ignore the whole trace with the leading external branch

[wlei]

Summary

The first LBR entry can be an external branch, we should ignore the whole trace.

Good catch, thx.

This means we always ignore any external branches, and we will no longer generate any artificial branches for internal->external->internal transition?

As we discussed, we shouldn't relax this for CS profile - it can't handle leading external address during unwinding.

1. revert back to preivous version, ignore the whole trace
2. add test case for artificial branch

can we avoid having test depending on debug prints as much as we can? can check the final result only in this case.

nit: with the break at the end, it's probably more readable if we separate the continue by replacing the else if with if.

I see, the final result is enough for this case.

Good point!
