chore(e2e): downgrade to wdio v8

- Downgrades WebdriverIO and relevant packages from v9 to v8

There is an incompatibility between WebdriverIO v9 and the "wdio-vscode-service" package. While the
tests execute successfully, there are type-related issues between the two packages. Additionally,
there may be other underlying issues that have not yet been identified.

We can upgrade back to WebdriverIO v9 once the "wdio-vscode-service" package updates its peer
dependencies to support it.

Relevant PR: webdriverio-community/wdio-vscode-service#130
Relevant Issue: webdriverio-community/wdio-vscode-service#140
