Upgrade node version, remove Storybook

[pavish]

Fixes #3208

Technical details

• Upgrades Node version to 18 (the latest lts version)
• Removes Storybook
  • Existing Storybook version no longer works with Node 18
  • Upgrading Storybook requires react as a mandatory dev dependency. Storybook is already heavily bloated and newer versions seem to add more to it.
  • It was discussed and decided in Matrix chats to not use Storybook and migrate to a different component playbook. This is tracked here: Migrate to Storybook alternative #3215
  • Since the storybook commands no longer work with the Node version upgrade, it made more sense to remove Storybook in this PR.

Looks good, works well.

@pavish I'll leave it to you to merge when you feel that all reviews are satisfied. Also it seems like it would be good for you to send out an email notification with this change, alerting devs that they'll need to rebuild their Docker containers.

It would be good to remove the /var/lib/apt/lists/*; \ using rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*; \ to avoid bloating the docker image. This can be fixed later when trying to reduce the docker image size too

[pavish]

Makes sense. I think we could do that later when focusing on reducing the docker image size.

Looks good @pavish! I leave it to you to merge the pull request.
