Replace stringLeading method with Java 8 friendlty alternative (#902)

*Issue #, if available:*
The stringLeading method is only available in Java 11+. This doesn't
meet our requirement of ADOT Java being available for Java 8+. We need
to find an alternative method.

*Description of changes:*
Refactor code to be Java 8 friendlty

*Test run:*

https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-java-instrumentation/actions/runs/11158858146

*Note*
Previously, the test was failing Java 8 for EKS use case. With this new
change, it is passing now.
This proves that:
1. The function `getDBStatementRemoteOperation`, specfically
`stripLeading()` is being tested by E2E test
2. The new change does not affect Java 11+ and also fixes Java 8

Unit tests also show that combinations of different attributes all pass
