Description

First of all, thanks for this wonderful project!

I find the support for mapbox tiles great and fairly intuitive, but I think it would be a nice feature to support some of the standard tile formats like WMS, TMS and XYZ tiles similar to the way they are implemented in Leaflet or Openlayers. This would make it easier to use self-hosted tile servers or for example OpenStreetMap tiles.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Mapbox tile support in plotly.py and comparing the requested behavior with the Leaflet and OpenLayers references in the issue. Define completion as supporting WMS, TMS, and XYZ tiles for self-hosted or OpenStreetMap tile servers, with each format rendering correctly.
