[Bug] Regression parsing of string source maps

[mschimk1]

Describe the bug

A regression in v1.0.4 when loading source maps of type string in webpack5 instanbul loader

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Build storybook stories with webpack5 configuration. E.g.,

storybook build --webpack-stats-json

@storybook/cli v7.6.19

info => Cleaning outputDir: /storybook-static
info => Loading presets
info => Building manager..
info => Manager built (1.92 s)
info => Building preview..
info => Copying static files:
...
info Using SWC compiler
info Addon-docs: using MDX2
info => Using implicit CSS loaders
...
info => Using default Webpack5 setup

The build fails with errors similar to the one below:

Module build failed (from ../../node_modules/.pnpm/@storybook[email protected]/node_modules/@storybook/addon-coverage/dist/cjs/loader/webpack5-istanbul-loader.js):
Error: .inputSourceMap must be a boolean, object, or undefined
at transformSync (/node_modules/.pnpm/@babel[email protected]/node_modules/@babel/core/lib/transform.js:42:76)
at Instrumenter.instrumentSync (/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/istanbul-lib-instrument/src/instrumenter.js:102:25)
at Object._default (/node_modules/.pnpm/@storybook[email protected]/node_modules/@storybook/addon-coverage/dist/cjs/loader/webpack5-istanbul-loader.js:36:29)

Expected behavior

The string type source map should be parsed into an object which is then fed into the code instrumentation.

Please view the patch I have contributed #44.
