There was an error with react override when updating Storybook.

npm ERR! Unable to resolve reference $react

Q: Why do we override react?
A: Because the officially released stable version of React (v. 18.2; more than a year and a half old by now) was spamming Sentry with hydration errors caused by script injection via chrome extensions (e.g. React dev tools). See #958 for details.

Changes made in this PR: changed the value in the overrides to the exact react version rather than the reference to react:

Before:

  "overrides": {
    "react": "$react",
    "react-dom": "$react-dom"
  },

Now:

  "overrides": {
    "react": "18.3.0-next-0ffc7f632-20230330",
    "react-dom": "18.3.0-next-0ffc7f632-20230330"
  },

This is slightly worse practice, according to npm docs; but still in the "good" category:

I expect we will be able to remove the override once React 19 is officially out.

css-loader has been updated from version 6 to version 7. There was a breaking change in version 7 in how css modules are created. Previously, when a CSS file was imported as a CSS module, it was treated as if it had a default export. Now, the default behaviour is to treat a css module as if each class were an independent named export (see link).

For this PR, I updated webpack configs, adding css-loader options that override the new default behaviour to simulate the old one.

Possibly in a different PR

• Eslint had a major version update (v8 to v9). As a result, all packages dependent on eslint had to update as well. Among our dependencies, the only package that has not yet updated is eslint-plugin-react-hooks. Waiting for Facebook's PR https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/28773 to be merged.
