RFR: JDK-8207160: ClassReader::adjustMethodParams can potentially return null if the args list is empty

[Liam Miller-Cushon]

Hi Vicente,

This looks good to me, for what that's worth.

A couple of nits:
* Consider doing the `args.isEmpty()` check earlier, at the beginning
of adjustMethodParams
or even before it's called. It might be slightly clearer, and it avoids
processing the empty list and creating an unnecessary ListBuffer.
* I thought more descriptive test names were now preferred over T8207160-style
names?
