subplot() no longer seem to work with ggplotly objects (bug)

[talgalili]

(on plotly_3.4.6)

For example:

library(plotly)
## Not run: 
p1 <- plot_ly(economics, x = date, y = uempmed, showlegend = F)
p2 <- plot_ly(economics, x = date, y = unemploy, showlegend = F)
subplot(p1, p2, nrows = 1) # works

library(ggplot2)
ggp1 <- qplot(data = economics, x = date, y = uempmed)
ggp2 <- qplot(data = economics, x = date, y = unemploy)

subplot(ggp1, ggp2, nrows = 1) # fails - only shows 1 plot

ggp1_ly <- ggplotly(ggp1)
ggp2_ly <- ggplotly(ggp2)

subplot(ggp1_ly, ggp2_ly, nrows = 1) # fails - only shows 1 plot

This is how the first figure looks (and should look):

Here is how the two other subplots figures look like (they show one figure instead of two = BUG ):

It seems that #526 solved this issue. (this issue can be closed once it is pulled into master)

Works beautifully, thanks Carson!
