Generated React Native files do not work with storybook in a vanilla app.

[tmeasday]

I was putting together a RN app for #1012, and ran into. I followed the following steps:

npm install -g react-native @storybook/cli
cd examples
react-native init ReactNativeVanilla

cd ReactNativeVanilla
# test that RN works :+1:
react-native run-ios

getstorybook
yarn run storybook
# storybook server/UI runs on port 7007

# run the app again, should see stories
react-native run-ios

At this stage I should see stories in the simulator, ie, something like

However, what I see is the standard starting app:

And no stories show in the UI.

I believe the problem was introduced by 3e2673b, which means that getstorybook creates storybook/index.js rather than storybook/index.[ios|android].js. Changing the filename myself and restarting things fix the issue.

I can't find documentation but I think the core problem is in setting --projectRoot=[configDir,projectDir] here https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/blob/master/app/react-native/src/bin/storybook-start.js#L49, the RN packager will look for and index.ios.js in configDir (i.e. ./storybook), and failing that, revert to the the projectDir.
