Add __or__, __ror__, __ior__ methods to BasePlotlyType to support dict-like updates via pipe operator

@nicolaskruchten I'm not very familiar with the plotly code base so feel a bit like an elephant in a porcelain shop. But maybe this is first step in the right direction for #4046. Just a rough first draft to solicit feedback at this point. No tests yet.

Closes #4046

@janosh this looks great, apologies for taking so long to review. One question: does this apply magic underscores? ie if we do things like fig.layout.update(margin_pad=4) do we get {'margin': {'pad': 4}}?

No comments on the code, looks good to me. Just need some tests I guess in test_update_objects, and a changelog entry (after merging master in, which should get the tests passing again).

Nice PR and clever syntax improvement. It'd be nice to accompany this with documentation if merged. Definitely could do for some tests to verify that this works 🙂
