Accept NumPy scalars in integer and string properties

 - Fix Plotly Express mutating lists passed to the `x` or `y` arguments in wide mode [[#5727](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5727)], with thanks to @cpruijsen for the contribution!
 - Fix `px.sunburst`, `px.treemap` and `px.icicle` listing sectors in a different order on every run when `path` is used with a Polars DataFrame; sectors now follow their order of first appearance for all dataframe backends [[#5766](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5766)], with thanks to @Irahan2 for the contribution!
 - Fix `mpl_to_plotly` conversion of matplotlib contour lines and line collections: close contour rings ending with `Z` codes, support dash styles, convert date x-axes, separate disjoint subpaths with `None` separators, hide line collection traces from the legend by default, and group consecutive same-style lines into single traces [[#5770](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5770)], with thanks to @robertoffmoura for the contribution!
+- Fix graph object properties rejecting NumPy scalars: integer properties (such as `nticks`, `nbinsx` and `updatemenus[].active`) now accept NumPy integers, and string properties (such as `name` and `text`) now accept NumPy numbers, as they already did Python `int` and `float` values [[#5828](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/5828)], with thanks to @RaphaelFakhri for the contribution!
