Special characters in the bundle makes it hard to deploy to static site hosting

[azer]

Describe the bug
I've tried deploying a simple Storybook setup to following hosting providers and all of them had issues:

• Firebase
• Netlify
• Cloudflare Pages
• Github Pages

The issues were:

• sb-addons/.storybook/manager.mjs missing
• extension folders missing (e.g @storybook/addon-controls/manager.mjs)

My guess is that these services filter out certain file patterns. Storybook could have better cleaner & simpler output layout, an option to just produce a simple static bundle would have been perfect.

To Reproduce
Try deploying to one of the hosting providers in the list.

System
404 errors usually. The build is compiled successfully without any error.

Just hit this.

You can add a .nojekyll file at the root of your github pages repo. In my case, I added it to public/ so that it gets populated in the root directory when my pages get built.

I can confirm that adding a .nojekyll file in beta 15 to my GH Pages branch fixed the issue of sb-addons/.storybook/manager.mjs being missing. Thanks @WesleyKapow, but would be nice if SB did this automatically rather than having to add an extra step to the build process prior to deploying.
