fix(types): Accept attribute paths in plotly_relayout, relayout, restyle, and update

[camdecoster]

Description

Update types to accept attribute paths in plotly_relayout, relayout, restyle, and update.

Closes #8047.

Changes

• Update types
• Add type tests
• Add test step in CI

Testing

• Be on main
• Save the following in the root project folder as test.ts:

import * as Plotly from './lib/index';

declare const gd: HTMLElement;

Plotly.relayout(gd, { 'xaxis.autorange': true });
Plotly.relayout(gd, 'xaxis.range[0]', 5);
Plotly.restyle(gd, { 'marker.color': 'red' });

// @ts-expect-error a typo must still fail
Plotly.relayout(gd, { titl: 'abc' });

• Run the following command:

  npx tsc --noEmit --ignoreConfig --strict --module preserve --moduleResolution bundler --skipLibCheck test.ts
  

• Note that there are errors (though these are valid calls)
• Switch to this branch
• Run the command again
• Note that there are no errors
• Check the CI results for test-types

Notes

• The escape hatch of an attribute path string being any is a compromise so that we don't have to generate a list of any possible path string
• The already accepted keys will still work
