Plotly

Fixed
- Fixed issue with necessary columns from complex arguments dropped when interchanging dataframes [[4324](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/4324)]

Updated
- Updated Plotly.js from version 2.24.1 to version 2.25.2. See the [plotly.js CHANGELOG](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2252----2023-08-11) for more information. These changes are reflected in the auto-generated `plotly.graph_objects` module. Notable changes include:
- Add "Equal Earth" projection to geo subplots [[6670](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6670)],
with thanks to apparebit for the contribution!
- Add options to include legends for shapes and `newshape` [[6653](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6653)]
- `px` methods now accept data-frame-like objects that support a [dataframe interchange protocol](https://data-apis.org/dataframe-protocol/latest/index.html), such as polars, vaex, modin etc. This protocol has priority on `to_pandas` call, but will only be used if pandas>=2.0.2 is installed in the environment.
- `px` methods now accept data-frame-like objects that support a `toPandas()` method, such as Spark DataFrames, or a `to_pandas_df()` method, such as Vaex DataFrames.

Fixed
- Fixed Pandas performance warning issue caused by multiple `frame.insert` [[4246](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/4246)]
