Description
When plotting error bars using error_x or error_y, it would be great if you could set the dash attribute as well. Currently you can set the color attribute, but the dash is fixed to "solid".
That can lead to inconsistent plots where line types are dotted/dashed but corresponding error bars are solid.

Research direction
Start by locating the plotly.js rendering path for error_x and error_y and the code that currently fixes their dash to "solid". Trace how the existing color attribute is handled, then confirm that error bars can use the requested dash setting and that plots no longer mismatch their corresponding line types.
