Bug_title

Cannot use org.web3j:core with JPMS.

Steps To Reproduce

Run from a module with JPMS enabled.

Environment

Describe the environment in which the issue occurs

• Web3j version: 4.12.0
• OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21+35 (build 21+35-LTS)

Additional context

The crypto-4.12.0.jar and the utils-4.12.0.jar do not declare module-info.java files. And they both provide the package org.web3j.crypto.

I get the following error:

the unnamed module reads package org.web3j.crypto from both utils and crypto
module utils reads package org.web3j.crypto from both crypto and utils
module crypto reads package org.web3j.crypto from both utils and crypto
