Re-implement the --watch / -w flag for 'storybook build' that was previously removed due to being broken. Changes: - Add -w/--watch CLI option to the build command - Add 'watch' property to CLIOptions type - Implement webpack watch mode using compiler.watch() instead of compiler.run() when --watch is passed - Implement vite watch mode by setting build.watch option - Handle rebuild logging and error recovery in watch mode - Prevent premature process exit and 'build completed' message in watch mode The watch flag was originally added via storybookjs#2762 but regressed at some point when the build pipeline was refactored. The CLI option was later removed entirely in storybookjs#16165 since it wasn't functional. This restores the feature by properly wiring the watch option through to both the webpack5 and vite builders. Fixes storybookjs#15946
