feat: adding type annotations to some constructor parameters

Using get_typing_type from codegen/datatypes.py to add Python datatype to some constructor parameters.

Notes:

  1. Does not handle the compound datatype yet. get_typing_type
    raises a ValueError because it doesn't have a clause for this
    type; add_constructor_params catches this and simply doesn't add
    a type definition. Something between a third and half of all
    constructor parameters suffer from this, so we need to figure out
    what compound means and define a type for it. (See FIXME in
    the codegen directory.)

  2. Almost all parameters are nullable, so the type is defined as
    (for example) int but the default value assigned is None.

  3. Depends on feat: modifying code generation to reduce bundle size #4978.

1.  Add `bin/get_size.py` so that `python bin/get_size.py plotly build`
    reports the number of files and total size in bytes of the `plotly`
    directory (where generated code is put) and the `build` directory
    that is populated by `python setup.py build`.

1.  Modify `codegen/__init__.py` and `./setup.py` so that
    `python setup.py --reformat=false` disables reformatting.

1.  Assign an empty string to the `data_docs` field of generated
    validators.  (This has a major impact because those docs are
    duplicated many times.)

1.  Alias name of base validator during import in
    `codegen/validators.py`.

1.  Remove the long list of CSS colors from help strings for color
    properties.

1.  Replace `super(Parent, self)` with `super()` in generated code.

1.  Drop use of sys.version_info and TYPE_CHECKING.  Removed the check
    for Python < 3.7 using `sys.version_info` and as a backup checking
    `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`; this saves a little space and also cleans
    up the code.

1.  Remove mention of Chart Studio and explicit enumeration of system
    font names from plotly.js / plot-schema.json so that this text
    isn't copied dozens of times into the plotly.py bundle.

1.  Introduce `_init_provided()` for `BaseFigure` and `BasePlotlyType`
    that calls a helper function `_initialize_provided()` to replace
    repetitions of:

```
_v = arg.pop("something", None)
_v = something if something is not None else _v
if _v is not None:
    self["something"] = _v
```

Original size of plotly/**/*.py: 42283582 bytes
Current size of plotly/**/*.py:  31931739 bytes
Change: -25%
1.  Add `from __future__ import annotations` as the first line of
    generated files so that modern Python type annotation syntax can
    be used in older versions of Python.

1.  Add `from typing import Any` and `from numpy.types import NDArray`
    to all generated files rather than trying to figure out which
    of these imports are needed on a file-by-file basis.

1.  Rename `get_typing_type` in `codegen/datatypes.py` to
    `get_python_type` to make purpose clearer.

1.  Add additional optional parameter to `get_python_type` so that
    `compound` and `compound_array` types in the schema are converted
    to `None` rather than causing an exception.

1.  Modify `codegen/datatypes.py` to add type annotations to constructor
    parameters.

1.  Modify `codegen/figure.py` to add `bool` type to one figure
    constructor parameter.

FIXME: figure out what type should actually be returned for `compound`
and `compound_array`.

FIXME: figure out what types to use for other standard parameters of
figures generated by `codegen/figure.py`.
1.  Modify `commands.py` to run code generation.
1.  Remove comments from generated code.
1.  Replaced named arguments in constructors with positional arguments.
1.  Regenerate all code.

Notes:

The generated code is reformatted once again: this slightly increases
size but makes it more readable.

There is one flaky test:

`tests/test_plotly_utils/validators/test_colorscale_validator.py::test_acceptance_named[Inferno_r]`

It fails when the entire test suite is run but does *not* fail when
only `test_colorscale_validator.py` is run (using Python 3.11.9).
