CLI: Fix Storybook doctor compatibility checks

[yannbf]

Closes storybookjs/addon-svelte-csf#322

What I did

This PR ignores the compatibility checks for two scenarios:

• Storybook canaries (e.g. 0.0.0 version)
• consolidated Storybook packages that are 0.x (essentially the @storybook/csf package)

This makes the compatibility check more accurate, as it actually is supposed to check against same major version packages e.g. 8 vs 9 and never 0 vs X

Greptile Summary

This PR modifies the Storybook doctor's compatibility checking logic to be more accurate by ignoring two specific scenarios:

1. Storybook canary versions (0.0.0)
2. Consolidated packages with 0.x versions (specifically @storybook/csf)

The change helps prevent false positive compatibility warnings by focusing the checks on meaningful version mismatches (like v8 vs v9) rather than development or canary versions where version compatibility is less relevant. This is achieved through two main code changes:

• Adding a check to skip compatibility checks for packages with 0.x versions
• Adding an early return when dealing with Storybook canary versions (0.0.0)

This change makes the compatibility checker more reliable and reduces noise from false positives that don't represent real compatibility issues.

Confidence score: 5/5

1. This PR is very safe to merge as it only reduces false positive warnings without affecting core functionality
2. The changes are small, focused, and the logic is clear and well-documented
3. Key files to review:
   • code/lib/cli-storybook/src/doctor/getIncompatibleStorybookPackages.ts
