ARM binaries seen by Courgette have three ISAs, ARM, thumb, and thumb-2. Courgette currently identified branch instructions from these ISAs heuristically, which leads to false positives. This patch improves on the heuristic by ignoring branches to addresses that aren't used very much in the binary.
Currently, the lower threshold for the number of times an address is used is 5, which was found empirically. ARM versions of chrome OS from daisy_3701.98.0 to daisy_4206.0.0 double the bytes saved by Courgette.
