Adds support for Polars DataFrames to easychart (and pyarrow etc) using narwhals.
Non-breaking enhancement with minimal changes to existing codebase.
Narwhals is not used to replace pandas, but to allow Polars support as an extra feature, while paving the way for possible future narwhals development. Pandas remains a required dependency and is still used for Timestamps. Heatmaps are run by first converting to pandas.
Pandas index behavior is unchanged. In polars, either the first column is used, row numbers for a series, or an index can be passed in explicitly as per current feature set.
LazyFrames are not supported - this does not seem necessary with minimal data wrangling in easychart.
All 102 tests pass. Narwhals test script is added for extra testing with polars and pyarrows as optional imports, alongside an update to the README. (Happy to discuss more docs).
narwhals.stable.v2 is used for guaranteed backwards compatibility.
