Adds a new VectorField node under the Visual menu that consumes
MultiObjectTrackingJSON output and renders a per-cell motion vector field overlaid on the video frame.New node:

Each grid cell accumulates velocity vectors from all tracked objects whose trajectory midpoints fell within it. Per-cell arrow:

Round-robin history
Position history is stored per
track_idas adequeof(cx, cy, timestamp)tuples. Old entries are pruned on every update based on the configured retention window. Velocity is computed in display-pixel/second between consecutive frames, scaled to display resolution.Style registration:
