Build: Always cleanup Verdaccio ports before running registry

[yannbf]

Closes #

What I did

For years we had issues in the task command where the run-registry task would fail with:

🎬 starting verdaccio (this takes ±5 seconds, so be patient)
info --- plugin successfully loaded: verdaccio-auth-memory
node:events:496
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::6001
    at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (node:net:1907:16)
    at listenInCluster (node:net:1964:12)
    at Server.listen (node:net:2066:7)
    at /Users/yannbraga/open-source/storybook/scripts/run-registry.ts:67:11
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at startVerdaccio (/Users/yannbraga/open-source/storybook/scripts/run-registry.ts:38:3)
    at run (/Users/yannbraga/open-source/storybook/scripts/run-registry.ts:175:3)

This PR fixes that issue by killing the processes in the verdaccio ports before running the registry task

Greptile Summary

Added port cleanup functionality to prevent Verdaccio server hanging issues by automatically killing processes on specific ports before starting the registry server.

• Added scripts/utils/kill-port.ts utility to handle process termination on both Windows and Unix systems
• Modified scripts/run-registry.ts to cleanup ports 6001 and 6002 before starting Verdaccio
• Added error handling to ensure port cleanup happens even when registry startup fails
• Extracted hardcoded port numbers into constants for better maintainability

logic: error handling chain could fail silently if rm() or cleanupVerdaccioProcesses() rejects - should wrap in try/catch
