Upgrade xstate to version 5.x

jredrejo commented 9 months ago

Overview

The xstate library kolibri uses for some of the kolibri processes has released a new version v5.x that adds some features but introduces some breaking changes with version 4.x .

We should apply those changes to kolibri code before upgrading to v5. Also some of the new features (use of can in guards or the fromPromise helper can improve current machines code)

Description and outcomes

To be done in a future 0.16 patch release
