Add a standalone tool to plot Suricata counter values from eve.json/eve-stats.json files. It reads JSON-lines, keeps the stats event records, optionally filters them with a universal jq filter, and plots the requested counter paths over time (or against the traffic multiplier with --by-multiplier). Key features: - Universal jq filter with automatic leading-dot normalization for bare field identifiers (e.g. 'uptime > 30' -> '.uptime > 30') - Correct series alignment: x and y extracted from the same record - --delta mode to show per-interval rates instead of cumulative values - --by-multiplier mode to plot a summary value against the multiplier - NaN handling in plots; empty/all-NaN series produce no figure - Robust error handling and informative diagnostics (typo detection, warn-once for insufficient --delta points) - Documented in README with usage examples

Pull request overview
Adds a standalone visualization utility to the Suricata Test Suite for plotting counter values from eve.json / eve-stats.json (JSON-lines) with optional jq-based filtering, plus README documentation so users can discover and use it.
Changes:
- Introduces
util/visualize.pyCLI tool to extract and plot.statscounters over time or by traffic multiplier, with--deltasupport. - Adds universal jq filtering with “bare identifier” normalization (e.g.
uptime > 30→.uptime > 30). - Documents the tool and usage examples in
README.md.
