plotly not showing legend when using ggplot2::geom_line() #476

Description

@lucacerone

Plotly (version 2.4.4) does not convert correctly legends in plots that have only lines,
for example:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- ggplot(iris, aes(x=Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color=Species)) + geom_line()
p #note: ggplot2 puts a legend here
ggplotly(p) #does not show the legend

whereas works as expected:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- ggplot(iris, aes(x=Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color=Species)) + geom_point()
p #note: ggplot2 puts a legend here
ggplotly(p) #plotly puts the legend

here is the output of devtools::session_info()
