Isolate Changes to Support Ballerina 2201.8.x Versions

[dsplayerX]

Purpose

Fixes #534

This PR addresses the need to isolate changes for the upcoming 1.8.x releases of the transaction module, ensuring compatibility with Ballerina version 2201.8.x. (Excludes any changes that are only compatible with versions above 2201.9.0.)

Goals

• Maintain compatibility with Ballerina version 2201.8.x within the transaction module.
• Prepare the transaction module for upcoming 1.8.x releases by including all relevant changes since v1.8.0.

Approach

• A new branch named "1.8.x" was created to isolate changes specific to the 1.8.x releases with Ballerina version 2201.8.x.
• This branch includes all commits from v1.8.0 up to the latest fix that support Ballerina 2201.8.x (Swan Lake 8) version.
• Dependencies have been updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Ballerina version 2201.8.5.
