Subject: [PATCH] Add RestApiUtility Class for HTTP Requests

This commit introduces a new utility class, RestApiUtility, designed to encapsulate all the HTTP request operations.

- Created RestApiUtility class with a constructor that accepts a base URL.
- Added get method to perform GET requests and return data as a Map.
- Added getList method to perform GET requests and return data as a List.
- Added post method to perform POST requests with payload and return data as a Map.

The class uses the http package for making network calls and dart:convert for JSON serialization and deserialization. This centralized approach makes it easier to manage API calls and handle errors across the application.
