Plotly.react problems when switching traces from 'linear' scatter -> 'category' scatterpolar

Wow, that's crazy. I should ask what the heck this line (which is resulting in a whole attempted "re"plot without any associated calc) is doing in supplyDefaults:

plotly.js/src/plots/plots.js

Lines 482 to 483 in 3a32ac0

	// TODO may return a promise
	plots.doAutoMargin(gd);

But I'm afraid I'd have to ask myself from 4 years ago 🙄
Hopefully we can just move this (and the ax.setScale loop below it) out of supplyDefaults and later in the process, and deal with any consequences in a more rational way!

Kind of amazed this is the first we've seen of this bug... oh well, no time like the present!
