fix: storybook infinite loading

[nwidynski]

Fixes storybook loading times, and especially it getting stuck loading. It was driving me insane 😅

This switches to native http API and also forces an IPv4 host bind. I haven't bothered investigating for the root cause in http-proxy-middleware, but I tried upgrading to v3 to no avail.

Looks like yarn install should be run to update the lock file

Can you describe how to reproduce the infinite loading? I'm not really sure what you're referring to. Also, how this fixes it? I know you said you didn't look into the root cause, so I'm curious how you decided to try this.

@snowystinger I quite frankly dont know how to reproduce if you havent encountered it 😅

Sometime recently, my local storybook started exhibiting increadibly slow full page reload times. Like taking 20+ seconds to do a page refresh, at times completely bricking up the tab in the process. Either the entire page was getting stuck loading, or at least the iframe was. A clean build or install did not change a thing also.

I narrowed it down to the parcel server dropping middleware requests but leaving the connection left open, causing storybook to hang indefinitely waiting for its response. This gets progressively bad over time it looked like, so somewhere there is probably a memory leak - again, havent bothered. Using native http does not exhibit the issue for the most part.
