[heft] heft-storybook-react-tutorial "rushx storybook" example does not work

[DavidRieman]

Summary

In the mainline code we should be able to work with rushstack/build-tests-samples/heft-storybook-react-tutorial as the basis for setting up storykit workflow, but the example itself does not successfully build+launch storybook. (This makes it hard to use the example to either set up a new storybook-related project in rush stack, and makes it harder to develop heft improvements for storybook.)

Repro steps

• Sync latest master code

• rush update

• rush build

• cd to rushstack/build-tests-samples/heft-storybook-react-tutorial

• rushx storybook

  Expected result:
  Builds and runs storybook: A browser window opens with a storybook Story example.

  Actual result:
  Produces error output. Does not open the browser.

Details

Verified problem occurs on both my Windows and MacOS machines.
First we see red error output like:

(On our own storybook projects, we've had some troubles with upgrading dependencies and keeping things working lately. The lack of a working example to study certainly compounds the problem. It's been all too easy for other projects to produce similar errors with things like dependency upgrade attempts or attaching additional storybook parts like storyshots.)

I tried to git bisect to find where this broke (with the assumption that it ever worked at some point) but had trouble with the process. For now, I'm going to see if I can upgrade heft for my other ticket by operating the dev heft against our own working storybook project - but hoping someone who's had this project working before can have a look at what's gone wrong with what seems it should be a golden-path example here.

Once we get this working again, maybe we can invent a test to prevent this sort of regression in the future.
