METRON-488: Snort should use a proper CSV implementation
Right now if you have a custom snort rule (e.g. alert tcp any any -> any
any (msg:'snort alert message having a ,(comma) to check csv parsing';
sid:999158; ) ) the snort parser will fail to parse because it's splitting on
the comma naively.
It should use the existing CSV parsing infrastructure that we have and that
is used in the CSVParser.
