Partial fix for #7468

We additionally need to allow param.DataFrame to accept non-pandas DataFrames, either by default or as an option.

My vision for the DataFrame parameter is that there is a parameter that supports any kind of tabular data source including the ones supported by Narwhals. See narwhals-dev/narwhals#1289. This means broading the concept from DataFrame to Tabular or Columnar data source. Why can't I use a database as the remote backend for Tabulator? Or a .parquet file?

This change won't do anything yet but it makes sense to merge in anticipation to the coming changes in param.
