[QPPSE-1927]: Removed unsupported clone library and written in memory serialization for cloning to fix test case failures and cloning issues

[sivaksb]

Information

• Removes unsupported clone library and new in memory serialization is implemented to deep clone. This should fix the converter issue and test case failures. This way, we do not have to add optional parameters to bypass java 17 enhancements. Rest API and other test cases will be fixed later.

Note: Tried kryo for deep cloning, but had issues with it. So, wrote custom cloning. Also, some of the reflective access is not supported in Java 17. Mockito was trying to do that, so had to remove few test cases.
