Fix violin plot compatibility with NumPy 2.4+ by mosh3eb · Pull Request #5505 · plotly/plotly.py

The interpolation parameter was removed in NumPy 2.4.0 and replaced with 'method'. This was causing create_violin() to fail with newer NumPy versions.

Added version detection to use the correct parameter based on the installed NumPy version, maintaining backward compatibility with NumPy 1.x while supporting 2.4+.

Fixes #5461
