Ensure Consistent Behavior When Applying Backend-Specific Styles

[isofer]

When calling style.use with a style that is supported only by Matplotlib, Arvis Plots applies it without raising an error, even if other backends do not support that style (.e.g arviz-darkgrid). However, setting a style that is supported only by Plotly results in an error (e.g. plotly). This inconsistent behavior makes it unclear how backend-specific styles are expected to work. It would be helpful to unify this logic so that backend-specific styles are handled consistently—either always accepted and applied where possible, or always validated with a consistent error policy.

What error do you get when setting the style plotly? I don't get any error. Can you post a minimal working example?

I have just added a new entry "common" to the output of style.available listing the styles that are intended to work across backend #373. I understand this is not exactly what you are asking here, but it goes in the same direction.

Sorry, I think I made a mistake and my code mixed az, and arviz_plots.
