Update xhr2-cookies deps for 1.x, fix User-Agent header problem

[ghost]

Description

Unlike ethers.js, web3.js didn't support using custom User-Agent headers due to header restrictions inherited from the old, unmaintained xhr2-cookies dependencies.

Related issues:

#1803
#2158

Using old dependency would expose the OS and nodejs version to RPC providers.

Due to this problem, there are many forks of the old dependencies exist https://www.npmjs.com/package/xhr2-cookies-web3fix , only to fix this old restriction applied.

Type of change

Changed only dependencies to local, github fork https://github.com/0xAyanami/xhr2-cookies.git. Would be great if the ChainSafe or any web3.js maintainer could fork my commits and change the repository address.

@nazarhussain Created new PR #4808 that updates dependency version as I would see that maintainers of xhr2-cookies package gone afk for a long time. ( I think incident from Ukraine have some impact for them )
