Vite: Fix HMR issue for Storybook preview files

[valentinpalkovic]

Closes #26881

What I did

Changes in .storybook/preview.<ts|js> files were not updated after an HMR event. A full browser reload was necessary. The issue was that even though the HMR event was sent successfully to the browser, the old preview annotation files were loaded.

before

1. `.storybook/preview.js` changes
2. HMR event sent to the browser
3. Preview annotations for `./.storybook/preview.js` loaded -> Since this was already imported once, the browser will return the cached version of the module and will not request it again

after

1. `.storybook/preview.js` changes
2. HMR event sent to the browser
3. Preview annotations for `./storybook/preview.js?t=<hash>` loaded -> This contains the latest changes

I have adjusted the logic to always consider the updated annotation files instead of a previous cached version.
