I attached a comment, pv and value parser in CSA. It would be useful for the analysis of the playout in floodgate. Example of io is shown below

Discussion

As far as I know, CSA format does not provide strict rules to determine which comments contain PV and values. This PR supports CSA files generated by floodgate. Comment parser in this PR would raise error when comment format is different from floodgate's format. Therefore, it is preferable to skip the comment parser when it raises errors.

This parser tries to support MultiPV and multiline comments to gather the information by list. However, floodgate does not support MultiPV and multiline comments.

@qhapaq-49 Thank you for making the pull request. Sorry for my late review.

This pull request is very helpful to parse floodgate CSAs. Also, I've read your tweet. https://twitter.com/Qhapaq_49/status/1543977762826113025

The discussion section is very helpful. My suggestion is, we can introduce a parser option and set floodgate mode explicitly, introduce a new dict key floodgate and set all the values from the comment under the key.

Other comments,

value is too common name. But evaluation_value is too long. I don't have a good idea.
comments could be sparse. It could be dict. If the comment parser is only for reading floodgate logs like the above suggestion and the log has many comments, keeping the current list is okay.
