Manuel Raimann e359392a00 feat: add HTML visualization reports with Plotly.js charts
Add a `visualization` feature flag that generates self-contained HTML
reports with interactive Plotly.js charts for offline visualization of
optimization results. Charts include optimization history, slice plots,
parallel coordinates, parameter importance, trial timeline, and
intermediate values (learning curves).
