cloning on windows results in "filename too long" #4497

Bug description

Please describe.

This repo has a file with a path of length 191. Windows has a hard limit for path lengths: 255. That means we have less than 60 chars for the root folder, a limit very easily reached.

Expected behavior

Clone works.

How to reproduce

Install Windows 10.
Make folder structure on desktop with a path of 60 chars. For example: C://Users/john/Desktop/WORK_IN_WINDOWS/project_XXXXXX/lib_docker
Try to follow "self-hosted docker instructions" inside the folder above.
Run command git clone -b main https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz.git && cd signoz/deploy/.
Get back error from git: error: unable to create file frontend/tests/expections/index.spec.ts-snapshots/Expections-page-Should-render-the-page-with-50-26a88--in-antd-notification-with-no-data-antd-table-1-Signoz-darwin.png: Filename too long

Version information

Signoz version: main
Browser version: irrelevant
Your OS and version: Windows 10
Your CPU Architecture(ARM/Intel): irrelevant

Additional context

Workaround: clone in a root folder C://signoz, delete offending files, move repo where you wanted it to be
