Remove Storybook

[jtpio]

References

In #11648 we noticed some dependencies like nth-check are difficult to update and come from the dependency on storybook.

Storybook seems to be coming back often when we try to update dependencies, for example:

• Refresh yarn.lock in preparation for 3.1 #10516
• Bump url-parse~1.5.4 #10755

I'm not sure if anyone is currently using it? Which is why this PR proposes we just remove it. If someone is still using, then we should consider keeping it.

Thanks for starting this.

We spoke briefly about that in #11173 (comment) @jasongrout and I.

The agreement was indeed to drop it as no active developers use it (this is probably the reason it was never updated 😉).

Marking as ready as I'm not planning to make any more changes.

We can also leave it open for a bit so folks have time to comment. This can also be discussed at the next weekly meeting.

Also the diff cleans up the yarn.lock quite a bit:

Thanks @jtpio

Benchmark report

The execution time (in milliseconds) are grouped by test file, test type and browser.
For each case, the following values are computed: min <- [1st quartile - median - 3rd quartile] -> max.

The mean relative comparison is computed with 95% confidence.

Sorry I closed it a bit too quickly. I will raise the point at today's team meeting. And revert if needed.
