This PR removes the logic that is used to import FigureWidget in __init__.py from graph_objects and imports it from ..graph_objs instead

(I might be missing smth in my understanding - but atm I can't think of a reason why you would want exactly the same code in those two files)

This seems like a reasonable change. I'm not sure why we handle FigureWidget differently than any other imports in this file. Python < 3.7 doesn't support .. imports, which is why we have this special handler, but it's not clear to me why we use the special handler for just FigureWidget and no other import.

In favour of this change to make this file easier to understand 👍 I'd be curious whether this breaks compatibility with <3.6 for some arcane reason though (although to be honest I'm open to requiring Python>=3.8 for Plotly.py in general).

@camdecoster could you take a look at this? It's very old, but the low line count implies it could be a quick win.

This PR edits a generated file (which we don't want to do) and it would take some time to dig into porting the fix over to the latest code, so I'm going to close it.

I added #5849 to track the underlying issue.
